    Anyone fell for PTSB scam/phishing text message sent to your number from Open24 number used in the past? I have a thread showing verification codes from ptsb from the past. PTSB fraud call support told me - your phone has been hacked or settings on phone are not right. Their bad luck cause I do work with phones and I know that if that would be case all my accounts would be left with €0 on them.

    After receiving text from PTSB threaded message you need to get to open24 website and sign in with your details to stop process blocking your PTSB app working. As soon as you register you get your verification code as sign in- payee is being added and payee withdrawing money for himself from your account. In result you don’t know if money will be returned at all, how long will investigation take and if at all you will get anything... beside that, poor security system that does not catch up payments over 600 to another country etc... Wanna know if anyone else had that?

    you need to treat it as a scam.
