A scam targeting drivers is currently doing the rounds, Gardai said on Sunday,
A Facebook page claiming to be the National Driver Licence Service (NDLS) is asking people to contact them via WhatsApp to apply for or renew their driving licence.
They then ask the unwitting respondents to fork over more than €200.
A statement from An Garda Siochana said: "An Garda Siochana and the Road Safety Authority would like to make the public aware of a scam which has been reported to Gardaí.
"This is a scam to part people with their money.
"The NDLS does not have any official social media pages.
"The only way to contact the NDLS is through the official RSA social media pages or online through www.rsa.ieor www.ndls.ie.
"This fraudulent page has been reported to Facebook to be removed. Investigations are ongoing."
