Take note.
Bank of Ireland has warned customers to be aware of a fraudulent text message being sent to customers purporting to be from the bank.
The bank sent a push notification to customers shortly after 5pm on Friday reminding people they would never ask for them to update personal details by text.
“We are aware of a smishing/fraudulent SMS which has been sent. Bank of Ireland will never send an SMS asking for personal information. Please do not click any links and delete SMS. Thank you,” Bank of Ireland wrote on social media.
