    Hi daheff, 

    Thanks for contacting us here on Boards. 

    Yes this would be a phishing email and not from us. We will never email our customers asking to click on a resolution link or to confirm account or log in details. We would advise you not to click on the links in these phishing emails. If you receive any further emails claiming to be from Bank of Ireland, please forward to 365security@boi.com and then delete the email. 

    Thanks for the heads up on this, 
    Sarah
