    Scam text purporting to be from Bank of Ireland stating that there was fraudulent activity on your account. They advise you to click on a link when you do they want your details. Don't do it. The Bank does not request these.

    I got one of these texts, 11/06/20, to tell me my a/c was suspended , fortunately I had used my card in Dunnes after the text was timed sent on my phone. I took my phone to the local branch of BoI & was immediately told it was a scam & to delete. The text itself seemed real enough , 365 was prominent tho' the presence of a link to click was suspicious.

    Sorry for the people I heard on Radio 1 today who had been scammed.
