The public are being warned to never reveal their personal banking or credit card details in response to unsolicited emails, texts or phone calls

An Garda Síochána at the Garda National Economic Crime Bureau have become aware of a 'fraud' where criminals are trying to obtain the personal banking or credit details of Irish citizens under the guise of a request to update personal Netflix accounts with banking and/or credit card details.

This is a fake email and any financial information disclosed will be used to commit fraud offences, including account take over, where bank accounts are taken over and all funds withdrawn.

The public are being warned to never reveal their personal banking or credit card details in response to unsolicited emails, text messages, SMS messages or phone calls.
