Watch out for emails looking for payment, even if it looks like your regular contact and never pay to a new bank account number without talking to your supplier first. #FraudSMART@FraudSmart
Thank u Buncrana Community Hospital for hosting @UlsterBank Community Banker workshop on financial abuse and fraud & scams for frontline staff today. Huge focus on protecting vulnerable adults given recent @safeguardingire Red C findings.

This is happening in our communities and needs more frank & open discussion.
As a Community Banker with @UlsterBank I work with community groups in Donegal on awareness & prevention so do get in touch if I can help.
Thank you @safeguardingire for a brilliant campaign.
Never hand over personal or financial details to somebody you don't know. For credit applications use trusted services. #FraudSMART

I've been discussing this in schools as community banker with @UlsterBank this last month or more.
Please share @Cypse@ParentHubDon@DonegalYR@DonegalYouthSvc@JigsawDonegal and keep our young adults safe & aware.
Happy to organise talks for your groups just get in touch!
43% of 18-24 year olds are likely or very likely to transfer money for someone using their own bank account in exchange for keeping some of the money for themselves.
Financial elder abuse.
Thanks to @StJosephsHosp Stranorlar for allowing me to host a workshop on financial abuse this week. Discussing money is still taboo for many but acting on red flags and safeguarding the vulnerable is key.
@Safeguarding_ie have lots more info,tools & tips
I hosted a @CCPCIreland Money Skills for Life in @Pramerica_Ire yesterday.
Happy to run more if demand is there. Financial capability is something we could all improve on!
A big thank u to Pramerica staff who came along and Lorraine who organised it all.
Don't fall victim to the various phone scams doing the rounds. Fraudsters pretend to be calling from a utility company, your bank or even the Revenue. Be wary of unexpected calls and never give out personal information. #FraudSMART
Looking forward to doing a "Friends Against Scams" talk at the below event this Wednesday with my community colleagues.
Do share and come along if you are in the area
Be alert to calls, texts and emails purporting to be from Revenue asking for your card details and payment codes. Verify any requests, if you are unsure please phone Revenue directly. #FraudSMART
