Man arrested in Cork as part of investigation into €165k PUP fraud

Over 70 people responded to a fraudulent email and provided personal data which was then used to make fraudulent applications for PUP.

Gardaí investigating fraudulent claims of the Pandemic Unemployment Payment (PUP) have arrested a man.

In June, Gardaí issued a warning to the public concerning a phishing email purporting to be from Courts Services where individuals were told they had been selected for jury service.
