    Hi, just to let you and other BOI customers know of the attached Smishing attempt I received by text this afternoon, could be isolated or widespread

    First time I ever received one of these messages on my SMS BOI thread but I immediately recognised this was a fraudulent attempt so I didn't click the link

    I've been getting those for years and I don't even have a BOI account. I just ignore them.
