Fraud Awareness

Fraud is a constant and evolving threat, targeting individuals through phishing emails, phone scams, and online deceptions.

Scammers often use urgency and fear to manipulate victims into sharing personal or financial information.

To stay protected always verify unexpected requests, avoid clicking unknown links and monitor your account for suspicious activity.

If you suspect fraud report it immediately to the Current Account Card Service team, which is available 24/7 on 01 6933333.

For additional information on how to protect yourself from fraud check out the Current Account Brochure which can be found here.

Remember that fraud can happen to anyone at any time so STOP! THINK! CHECK!

Protect Personal Information

Keep sensitive data safe from scammers and cyber threats.

Verify Before Trusting

Always confirm details before believing or acting on them.

Question Unexpected Requests

Be cautious of sudden, unusual demands for personal information.

Report Suspicious Activity

Notify authorities if you notice any fraudulent behaviour.

Check Bank Statements

Regularly review transactions to spot unauthorised charges early.

Avoid Unknown Links

Never click unfamiliar links to prevent phishing scams.

Look for the padlock in the URL bar which indicates the site is encrypted.

Ensure you are using trusted websites when shopping or transacting online.

Check Google Reviews - Is there a genuine phone number or email address?

Remember, if it's too good to be true, trust your instincts - it's likely to be a scam!

Your Credit Union will never ever request you to click on a link in an SMS to update your personal security or PIN/Password details.

If you receive a call from an unknown number purporting to be from our Credit Union, hang up and call us back on 096 71066 to ensure that the call is genuine.
