A South East Credit Union has issued a warning tonight of a new scam that is circulating.
In a statement on Twitter, Gorey Credit Union has advised its members that a bogus email is circulating nationally, purporting to be from 'The Credit Union'.
The subject line in the email says "Change of password immediately required."
It then asks recipients to click on a link to update their network credentials.
Gorey Credit Union warns that this is a phishing scam and anyone who receives the email should delete it immediately.
They remind members that they should never click on links in emails if they are suspicious and should instead contact their local credit union.
