The scam letter details allegations of child pornography and pedophilia.
Gardaí are advising people who receive a scam letter detailing allegations of child pornography and pedophilia not to engage with the sender.
The letter falsely states it's from the Garda Commissioner, and refers to a Gmail account the recipient can contact.
Crime Prevention Officer in Westmeath Sgt John McWalters says Gardaí always investigate crimes personally, not via email or letter.
He has this advice for people who receive the letter:
