    Just a text from from 84005 advising me that my account has been locked and to unlock by entering my user ID, Pin No and last 4 digits of my Phone number, the page all looks very legit. My account isn’t locked just logged on through official website. May be advisable to warn other customers through your web sites or social media.

    I wonder how much the switch from using .ie to .com domains has cost BOI in refunds etc over the years?

    When is the money (including lost growth) Michael Noonan took in the Pension Levy going to be paid back?

    I was about to start a thread on this very issue myself. Three texts in less that 24 hours from 84005 & 80080


    Obviously no one should ever follow links from these texts & emails. They will lead to sites that look very real.

    I got the same today from 0861801466 they are linking to onlinedebit365. com

    When I saw they wanted my full six digit pin I knew it had to be fake.
