ONLINE SCAM FUNDRASING pages have been created, purporting to ask for funds to cover funeral costs for the family of Limerick siblings Scarlett and Jason Faulkner, who died a week apart.

Scarlett Faulkner, (29), was laid to rest last Friday, after she died Monday, 13 April, three weeks after she was allegedly assaulted with an iron bar at Birdhill, Co Tipperary.

Faulkner’s brother, Jason Faulkner, (30s), who had been a pallbearer at her funeral mass, died tragically two days later, last Sunday, 19 April.

Sisters, Aisling Duffy, and Joanne (Josephine) Duffy, who is the partner of Scarlett’s and Jason’s brother, Thomas Faulkner, posted a video on social media warning people not to be duped by fake online pages in their names, asking people to make a financial donation to the Faulkner family.

“Be very careful, there is GoFundMe pages that have been sent from my page and Joanne’s page and these pages are fake,” said Aisling Duffy, who is a well-known social media influencer who posts online content under the name Aisling Unfiltered.

“The Faulkner family will be funding all their own funerals, they would never ask for any donations and never ask for any GoFundMe (pages),” she said.

“We just want to let ye know that, for Joanne and myself, there are fakes pages made, and we would never text ye or ask for any funds, nothing like that.”

Joanne Duffy said the Faulkner family were a “big family and they all have each other”.

“They are going to support each other, they are going to be there for each other and they’re going to be funding the funeral themselves,” added Aisling Duffy.
