The initiative is one element of Bank of Ireland UK's comprehensive consumer fraud awareness programme which is designed to educate and inform consumers about fraud and how they can protect their finances and personal info from fraudsters.
Financial crime has many different forms, from fraudulent texts, emails and calls through to impersonation romance and purchase based scams but they all have one common goal - taking consumers money!
Gail Goldie, CEO of Bank of Ireland UK said "Through this series of fraud awareness events we want to make consumers more aware of the various types of fraud, what to do if they are ever a victim of fraud and how we are investing in fraud detection and prevention to protect them from financial criminals."
"Our message to all consumers is clear - Stop, Think, Check. If something sounds too good to be true, it is. Be suspicious and keep your guard up."
