Hi,

I just received an SMS from the usual BOI number where I receive other notifications (eg: no fees this quarter, buyer auth. code), but it's a phishing attempt:

"Dear User,
Due to recent phishing attempts users are asked to verify their online account and re-register ALL payees, incompletion of this may lead to termination of your online account, to avoid this please complete the following form: <Obviously non-https fake website that contains boi365 in the URL>"

Just sharing here in case other people have received it, to make sure nobody acutally follows those indications, even if it appears to come from the same number where legit notifications are sent.
