"The phishing email, which includes the logo of An Garda Síochána, threatens to send a case file to the Director of Public Prosecutions if the person does not respond within 24 hours."
"An Garda Síochána is aware of a fake email currently circulating purporting to be from the Garda Commissioner and the Garda National Protective Services Bureau (GNPSB)."
"The email also urges the person to respond 'within 24 hours' through contacting two unofficial email addresses that are not associated with An Garda Síochána."
A phishing email using An Garda Síochána's logo threatens recipients with arrest and public exposure if they fail to respond within 24 hours. The email falsely claims to be from the Garda Commissioner and the Garda National Protective Services Bureau, alleging involvement in serious offences. Recipients are directed to respond to unofficial email addresses. A garda spokesperson confirmed the email is fraudulent and urged recipients to ignore it. This incident follows other phishing attempts impersonating An Garda Síochána, highlighting ongoing scams targeting individuals.
