    Just to let ye know (I am not even a BoI customer) that I have received a few of the following texts (the sender is just 'FreeText', no actual number on display)

    Bank of Ireland FreeText 365 online account update: http://phoneunlocknow.com/365online

    --

    I got the exact same text a few days before this one claiming to be from PTSB as well.

    Just thought I'd let ye know.

    Hi Sam,

    Thank you for contacting us through boards.ie.

    As you correctly suspected this was not sent from Bank of Ireland.  We never send emails/text messages of this nature to customers.  If you haven't already deleted it, would you be able to either email the text message or a screen shot of it to 365security@boi.com.

    Thanks for taking the time to bring this to our attention.

    Seán
