ALERT: Fraudulent Messages Targeting CU Members

• The message directs members to a fraudulent website presented as a secure https link.

• Traffic is routed through Cloudflare, creating a false impression of security and legitimacy.

• The site displays the Hands, Family and Globe logo and traditional credit union colours without authorisation.

• Regardless of navigation path, members are ultimately prompted to disclose their credit union and personal information.

• This is a highly sophisticated and convincing scam designed to target vulnerable individuals who may react quickly out of concern.

Members are receiving fraudulent messages claiming that a new payee (e.g., “Jamie Smith”) has been added to their account and instructing them to call a number if this was not authorised.

These messages are fraudulent. Members should not call the number or share any personal information.

Several credit unions have reported members receiving messages such as:

“CREDIT UNION: Standing order of €4,850 to Shane Duffy set up successfully. Reply Y if you requested this, or N if not.”

These messages are also fraudulent, and replying poses a risk of personal data exposure.

If you're ever unsure of the legitimacy of a message, phone call or email you receive regarding your credit union account with us please do give us a call during office hours on 018554489.

Equally if you have any concerns regarding your ANSAC Current Account you can phone the number on the back of your debit card 24-7.
