A woman who lost €10,000 to a Revolut payment app scam has pleaded with people to stay vigilant.
Alice Coyle recalled the "clever" Revolut scam where cyber frauds stole the large sum through a fake Electric Ireland text, Dublin Live reports.
She told Galway Beo: "At 14:26 on Tuesday 25th May 2023 I got a text (SMS) from +353892159661 Electric Ireland: Your last payment didn't go through. To avoid disconnection visit https://electricireland-payonline(dot)com to update your account. I knew I needed to do it at some stage as I'd just received the Electric Ireland bill the day before, it was literally sitting there on my desk open."
