Suspicious transaction

Reg_hurley

Hello,

I received the following text from BOI.

“Your BOI Visa Card has been used for a transaction that has been marked suspicious

Go to https://365online-paymentcheck.com to review the payment.”

Is this legit or a scam?

Thanks,

Reg

100% a scam as redirects to a dodgy site that is asking you to login.

Don't go anywhere near it.

That's SMS spoofing for you, sending a text and making it look like it came from BOI.

The scammers need to get the BOI colours closer to the real thing and the buttons underneath to actually work lol (joking of course).

BOI normally ask you to call them to validate a transaction or by replying to the text.
