A Roscommon Councillor is warning people of an e-mail scam which she has been targeted with in recent days and claims to come from An Post.
The e-mail claims that it is being sent from An Post concerning a household's TV licence which they explain is due to expire in 6 days and asking people to click on a link to renew their subscription.
