A significant number of Kilkenny people have been left feeling frightened following the circulation of a 'nasty' email attempting to blackmail locals to part with their cash.
The email claims to have access to a person's phone contact details and other private pieces of information. According to the sender, if the victim does not pay a sum of money within 48 hours they will send incriminating videos to all their contacts.
In response, the message from An Garda Síochana in Kilkenny is 'do not engage'.
