Irish bank AIB issues a warning to customers after payment fraud cases rise sharply in July. According to AIB, the number of payment fraud incidents increases by about 59% (described as “almost 60%” by one outlet) compared with the previous period. AIB says scammers target customers by tricking them into handing over sensitive information such as security codes, or by pressuring them to part with cash. The bank advises customers to be cautious when approached by people claiming to represent a bank or other legitimate organisation. It also warns that genuine organisations would not pressure customers into making immediate decisions, including completing transactions quickly under duress. The guidance focuses on resisting requests for security codes and treating urgent or suspicious demands as potential fraud. The warning is intended to help customers recognise common scam tactics and reduce the risk of financial loss.
