Financial scams are on the increase. If I receive a call from the bank how will I know it is genuine?
Fraudsters are using the publicity around the Coronavirus to pose as genuine organisations, including bank staff, government and/or health service officials. They are claiming to help keep your money safe, or to offer investment and / or medical advice at a cost.
Remember: AIB or other organisations, such as law enforcement agencies, will NEVER ask you to transfer money, move it to a safe account, nor ask you to disclose your security credentials, personal or financial information by phone, email or text message.
