Hi hellboy99

Thank you for contacting us on Boards.

This is certainly a fraudulent email you have received.

Just to mention, Bank of Ireland will never send emails asking customers to confirm any account or password information. We also will never send emails to implement a fix on your account by clicking on a resolution link. These fraudulent emails can be forwarded to 365security@boi.com

If you have clicked on any links in this mail, your computer may be compromised and we strongly recommend you run Anti-Virus software on your computer and do not access your online banking until your software confirms it is clear from viruses. We would also advise to contact Bank of Ireland 365 at your earliest convenience to discuss if your 365 Pin details will need to be changed or cards cancelled on your account, this will depend on any information given on the fraudulent website or link.

Our contact numbers are 0818 365 365 / 00353 140 44000.

Our representatives are available Monday-Friday 8 am-12 midnight
