Fraud
An injured party received a Google Meet request online, which they accepted. The caller alleged that they were from Revolut and that there was a problem with the injured party’s account, necessitating the freezing of their card.
The caller informed them that a new card needed to be ordered and requested the personal details, which were provided. Following this, several transactions were made to the account.
An Garda Siochana urges the public to be wary of texts alleging to be from the Bank of Ireland, Allied Irish Bank, An Post, Revolut, PTSB, or any message asking for personal details and bank details.
A legitimate bank will never text, email, or call asking for personal details such as PINs, passwords, or full card details.
