A South East business is the latest victim of redirection fraud.
In the latest case the business received a fraudulent email received purporting to be from a supplier asking for payment to be made on their account.
The email provided a payee bank account which was fraudulent and the business lost a substantial amount of money.
Gardaí are warning business people to be vigilant and to fully check out the contents of unsolicited emails purporting to be from suppliers.
They say checks and balances should be carried out in relation to any emails received.
A spokesperson said: "It is of vital importance that a known person in the supplier company is contacted in person using a known and verified telephone number and not one that may have been attached to the email request."
Gardai advise any such redirection fraud emails should be reported to them.
