The Dublin Credit Unions group have issued an urgent warning to their members over a phishing scam made to trick people into handing over their personal details.
Credit Union members have received phone calls and texts in recent weeks that dupe the receiver into believing there is a problem with their account, resulting them in handing over private information.
Speaking on behalf of Dublin Credit Unions, Core Credit Union membership officer Jennifer Bowe told Dublin Live that financial institution will "never contact an individual member by phone, text, or email asking them to click a link to verify their account or give personal account details over the phone".
