Revolut in warning to customers with new criminal text message scam doing the rounds

Online banking platform Revolut has issued a warning to its Irish customers today urging them to be cautious as criminals pretending to represent businesses are sending phishing links to trick people into sharing personal details.

The fintech company, with more than 2 million users in Ireland alone, has advised its customers that criminals may use a number of different reasons to persuade customers to tap a link or call a number, including links to update your address, advice to unfreeze your account and to opt out of an offer.

However, clicking links in scam texts and emails could take customers to a site or form that asks for personal information, which may then be used by criminals to steal your money.
