    A family member received a text from Bank of Ireland today.  Is it a genuine text or a scam. 

    He has a Credit Card for years & is able to pay it off by transferring from his Current Account & is able to see the account transactions on-line

    .It says " We have noticed that you have a credit card which is not registered on 365 on-line, right now.  We thought it might be helpful for you to be able to see the status of your credit card so we'll we adding it to your 365 on-line profile by the end of October. When it is registered on 365 on-line, you'll receive electronic statements and we will stop providing paper statements. You can revert back to paper statements at any time by updating statement preferences on 365 on-line. If you don't want us to add your Credit card, please text DECLINE"

    What is this text about then. Do I need to do anything. There is so many scams nowadays!

    Thank you .
