    Hi There,

    Thanks for getting in touch with us here on Boards.ie.

    This would be a fraudulent message. If you could please delete the message and do not follow any links or reply. Bank of Ireland will never contact you asking for any of your account, or online banking information.

    I understand your concern with the text appearing beside genuine Bank of Ireland texts but unfortunately it is quite easy for the fraudsters to do this – if they use a sender ID of ‘BOI’, your phone assumes that the text is coming from the same place that used that ID before. The fraudsters do this obviously to make their message appear genuine.

    Thanks, Aisling

    It's also quite easy for Bank of Ireland to protect their customers and get such messages blocked. Yet it still isn't happening. Why not?
