Fraudulent Email?

ShnApple

I have already fowarded this to 365security at boi.com, but I am posting here anyway since other people might have the same question. I did not click on any links just in case it's a virus. I believe this to be a phishing email since I have never made any transactions with Go Daddy. I still have that 1% doubt about it which is another reason why I am posting it here.  

It came from ian.boardman at fieldcourt.co.uk

I received the exact same email, even down to the amount. I deleted it straight away. No idea what GoDaddy even is.
Don't know where your 1℅ doubt comes from. It didn't even come from an Irish BOI email address. It's a phishing attempt, no doubt about that!

Thanks @Cheshire cat. The 1% comes from paranoia. lol.

GoDaddy is a domain registry and webhost. Nothing sinister about that at all. Might be a terrible hosting service, but will leave it at that.

Good Morning ShnApple, 

Thank you for getting in touch with us here on Boards.ie. 

Your concerns are very valid as this is indeed a Phishing email and was not sent by Bank of Ireland. Just to clarify, we would not send emails requesting customers to click on any links to confirm account specific information. You've done the correct thing by sending this to our security team at 365security@boi.com and we'd suggest that you now delete the email. 

We have further information about security on your account here on our website. 

Thank you again for getting in touch and sharing this here on Boards.ie. 

Elaine
