DFB says the scammer is stating he is collecting on behalf of Pieta House.

This remains a continuous occurence as last month DFB received similiar reports and published a previous cautionary note online.

The public are being reminded that DFB never collect money in pubs and if approached, to inform bar staff who will contact Gardaí.
