We have been recently contacted regarding a new type of Smishing fraud that credit union members have been a victim of.

The key features of this particular fraud are:

• Member receives unsolicited messages from an unknown number
• The messages typically claim to be sent from a son/daughter of the member
• The messages state that the sender has lost/damaged their mobile phone, their bank cards have been cancelled, have no access to funds & request an urgent payment to be sent to a 3^rd party (in this context the Payee name and the IBAN is provided in the message)
• The fraudulent payment transfers were undertaken both online and over the counter in the credit union

Please ensure all your staff/volunteers are briefed on this emerging fraud.

Reminder: The BPFI FraudSMART website contains useful information relating to all types of fraud that may assist you with staff training and member communication.

FIU Ireland has been notified of a “vishing scam” whereby persons are receiving calls from mobile phone numbers with a recorded message stating the caller is from the “Garda FIU” and that “suspicious transactions” have taken place on “your account”. The recorded message requests the person to “dial 1” to rectify the issue.

The calls, which are obviously not from FIU Ireland, are coming from different mobile phone numbers including 086-7652500, 087-2742110 & 089-9412301.

Please do not to follow any instructions in the recorded message, which could ultimately lead to you being the victims of deception and at a financial loss.

We have been made aware of a scam text, purporting to be from ‘Credit Union’, claiming that accounts have been ‘placed on hold’ and asking the recipient to click a link (to a cloned credit union website) to verify their account. Your credit union will never contact you by text or email asking you to click a link to verify your account.

If you get such a text or email, please do not click on the link. Similarly, if you receive a phone call masked to appear that it is from the number 01 614 6700, please do not answer, or hang up immediately.

If you are in any doubt about any message you receive in relation to your credit union account, please contact us directly.
