AIB says a number of customers have been scammed into withdrawing money to give to fraudsters. The bank is reporting an almost 60% increase in payment fraud cases last month. AIB is urging its customers to ‘wait a sec and double check’ if they receive any unexpected request. It follows a 59% increase in payment fraud cases in July. In other cases, customers have been told their account is compromised and they need to move money to a so called ‘safe account’.
