Councillor Conor Bergin is making the call after the LCSP's first public meeting.
Door to door scams are becoming more common and targeting older people in the community.
That's the message from Councillor Conor Bergin, over one where people hand out flyers for maintenance work.
It comes as the first public meeting of the local Community and Safety Partnership has been held at the local authority buildings in Portlaoise.
Councillor Bergin says it's important to be alert:
