Bank of Ireland are warning customers about a "new wave" of smishing texts.
Fraudsters are using people's card details to set up Apple Pay or Google Pay. The bank says there has been a 50 per cent spike of these smishing cases over the past month.
The cunning criminals send fake text messages appearing to be from delivery services including An Post or even Government agencies like the HSE and Revenue. The text can appear to be from An Post claiming to have a parcel or can even be a close Covid-19 contact text from fraudsters pretending to be the HSE.
