A Credit Union has issued a warning to members after scammers attempted to gain personal details from a member of the public.
“Portarlington Credit Union has been made aware of a recent scam attempt where a member received a phone call from a withheld phone number, with the caller claiming to be from Portarlington Credit Union.
During the call, the caller asked the member to confirm personal details. The member correctly ended the call. This was a scam.
We urge all members to remain extremely cautious and do not engage with calls of this nature,” Portarlington Credit Union said in a statement.
