Fraud Aware
The Irish League of Credit Unions (ILCU) have issued a warning to members regarding a phishing scam. The scam consists of a fraudster sending a text message and/or making phone calls claiming to be from a Credit Union stating that their Credit Union account has been put on hold or locked. Members are then asked to click on a link to a cloned Credit Union website and enter their personal details to verify their account, or they are asked for their personal details over the phone.
Cooley Credit Union Ltd will never contact a member by phone, text, or email asking them to click on a link to verify their account or give personal account details over the phone.
If any member receives calls, text messages, or emails in relation to their Credit Union account, do not give any account details to the caller or click on links.
Please contact us on 042 9376130 or via email at info@cooleycu.ie.
