Bank of Ireland is warning its customers about a new scam tactic that is duping people into handing over their bank details.
According to Bank of Ireland, there has been a high volume of fraudulent ‘eFlow’ text messages since February, with up to 10 fake eFlow sites being set up in a day. The bank has also warned that they are expecting to see an increase in fraudulent text messages cloning more Irish brands over the coming months.
The devious scam involves fraudsters pretending to be the motorway operator eFlow and sending messages urging customers to pay outstanding toll charges or update account details. However, the website links in these messages are fake and they will attempt to collect personal card and online banking details.
