People have been visiting homes offering a variety of services.
Laois Gardaí say they've stopped a crew of bogus callers thanks to calls from the public.
Gardaí say they were made aware of a Black Volkswagen Golf travelling around Abbeyleix, calling to homes and businesses in the area offering tarmac, roofing and other services.
The car has since been stopped by officers, and the occupants of the vehicle have "been dealt with" by Gardaí in the town.
The message coming from an Garda Síochána is "Don't open your door to anyone before you have checked who it is and what they want."
