True.

We promise we won't track you at the airport and block your children's allowance....trust us....we're so kind

Look at the source code...it uses Bluetooth.
It's actually pretty safe from what I can see....your on a smartphone or something already I am gonna presume?...so Google etc know pretty much everything about your location and the rest anyway!

If I heard a north inner city dublin accent on the phone I would assume it was a scam more than a Nigerian or Indian accent

gmisk

It's great to see these scammer jobs being done by Irish people rather than being done by foreigners....

"Your card needs to go to the menders so to speak".

gmisk

She keeps digging....she made a right hash of this.....FOOL!
She literally approved them taking the MONEY!
And would have done it for another transaction if the call hadn't dropped lol

Yes we are finally getting up to speed, next person caught doing the card cloning might be one of our own.

fritzelly

Sending you a code to confirm cancel the transaction

Was it the scammers on the line when she phoned back????

Fonejacker seems fairly realistic at this stage...

I am calling from your baaaank
---Which bank?
Your baaaank madaaaam

2smiggy

maybe they contact you to tell you that you are an idiot, and not to make any more transactions ??

Phonejacker with a Dublineese accent would be gold, lots of Joe speak.

'it looked a bit suspicious , but it kinda looked like banking 365'

keep this one away from bank cards and the internet

gmisk

Her friend who was with her should have slapped the phone out of her hand....then slapped her!

"It looked a bit suspicious"....but I gave them all my information just in case...

2smiggy

did she say she made it to 3rd year in UCC, hardly a ringing endorsement of the university !!

I'm glad I never have any money in my current account! Anything I have is in the credit union or an account with no card and/or limited access.

jojofizzio

Would be way too mortified to go on the radio and admit to this....

shearforce

"Pen"

it's pin.

think that might be the issue

gmisk

The text messages from the banks are notifications they don't have links....you thick!

jojofizzio

The “Po-weece”must have been standing there trying not to laugh at the stupidity....

That was driving me mad.

Pro move by joe actually having his 3 weeks off end on the bank holiday weekend, nice short week next week then. I have to say I do enjoy optimizing my own annual leave like that myself.

gmisk

All I can think of with this is grandpa Simpson and the telemarketers..

It's not a scam you give them all your credit card numbers...and if one of them is lucky you win a prize!!!

RobertKK

Damn, all these people swindled.

€250 and a choc ice, that's our final offer.

This is absolutely unbelievable that people can't see they are at fault.

gmisk

It's been happening for YEARS you tool!
You weren't the first person scammed you tit

Don't....click....on....a....link....in....an....email....or....text.
Or listen to some eejit who calls you pretending to be from BOI....especially one who sounds like he is chasing a snake around in the background!

2smiggy

is Katie trying to take all responsibility away form the callers ?!?!

Atlantic Dawn

London, England as opposed to London, Belize.

DoctorEdgeWild

Every single caller should be mortified telling stories of their own stupidity. Not one yet who actually has a decent case against the banks.

PieOhMy

Imagine if the calls were from someone with a Welsh accent!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!??!?!

gmisk

This woman....is the thickest yet....

She did it fecking TWICE!!!!!
And nearly did it three times!!!

It's the bank's responsibility to keep care of our details.

Unbelievable.

YOU gave your details, not the bank. The bank weren't involved. Just you and your scammer mates.

There is a bank in Wexford called the ballast bank. As you drive over the bridge you can see it sitting in the harbour . All these eejets should be rounded up and deposited on it just to keep them safe from themselves.

gmisk

The bank concluded I was a tit and should know better.
The bank was right.

shearforce

by God these callers are well able to talk. They don't seem to slow down for a second.

fritzelly

Almost every week there is warnings in the news about these - do these people live in caves or just thick as.. Going for the latter

Missed most of todays programme. Any Gold?

"Stay with us all of you, we'll be back after this." At 3 minutes to 3. :rolleyes:

gmisk

More fool you....leave BOI...they....suck.

I worked for them.....I was turned down for a credit card (for zero reason never been in debt in my life).......the week after they offered me a 250k mortgage.
