    Hi, I just got a text from BOI, ie. same BOI number that I've got before for activation requests, etc. In it they say : a new payee request was created......you can cancel by visiting login-boi.com, ref:YDLD.
    I presume I shouldn't click on this link ?!?! :o

    Thanks, I thought so, can BOI look into this, how these 'fake' texts are coming in on the official BOI stream ?

    Hi Morrisseeee,

    The reason these texts appear in threads with genuine BOI texts is the fraudsters just have to use sender ID "BOI" and the device assumes the message is coming from the same source so inserts it along with our messages. 

    Thanks
    Tara
