    Have received 2 of these in the last week alone (complete with BoI logo, pretty convincing for those not up to speed on email scams)
    Your 365 Online account has 1 new message.

    Log in to Online Banking

    (The Message Center contains important information about your account)

    I won't post the link here, but I did follow it up and it brings you to a very convincing replica of the BoI 365 Online website and politely asks for User ID, PIN, Name, Mobile Number and DOB(!)

    Hi Savman,

    Thanks for bringing this to our attention. The below information from a previous post may help:

    We will never send emails to customers requesting you to provide your personal or banking information (account details, login details, etc). If you ever receive emails, phone calls or are asked for any of your personal banking details in an unusual manner, we would ask you to report it immediately. You can find more about keeping yourself secure here

    If you still have the emails, we would ask you to forward them on to 365security@boimail.com.

    Further information about protecting your security online is available here.

    Thanks again,
    Graham
