    howdy
    just wanted to warn of a reasonably well constructed spam I've just started recieving to my inbox
    it comes from "info@boi365.com" and is titled "Validate your account information"

    the content is as follows:

    "Dear Customer,
    Your access to 365Online banking has EXPIRED.
    You are kindly advised to follow the instructions below.

    Please download the attachment, open it and fill in all the 
    required fields.

    Thank you.
    2014 Bank of Ireland. Customer Service Centre"

    the email has an attachment "BOI_form.html" for download

    I've never had spam relating to BOI before so thought it interesting

    thanks!

    Hi martco,

    Thanks for contacting us on Boards and for bringing this spam email to our attention.

    To clarify, Bank of Ireland do not send emails asking for customers to validate their account or to confirm account details. If you still have the email, please forward this on to 365security@boi.com and our security team will look into it. 

    If you need help with anything else, please let us know. 

    Thanks again,
    Sarah
