This is a WARNING to all members to be aware that there is a text scam going around at the moment targeting credit union members.

Above is a screenshot of the text circulating with a link. DO NOT CLICK ON THIS LINK. DELETE THE TEXT IMMEDIATELY.

The link takes you to a cloned website of the Irish League of Credit Unions

• The website will ask you to select your credit union from a drop down list and to input your name, member number and pin no.
• The scammer will then download the app and log into your account.
• The scammer will phone you pretending to work for the credit union or IT security dept. This is to get the verification code sent to your mobile phone.
• Once they have this they will have full access to your account and can set up a payee and transfer your money.
