Received a text claiming to be from AIB about suspicious activity on my account, so I called the number they gave.
Phishing Scam from AIB Impostors
Summary — +353238807626
Expert Opinion
A single deceptive text mimicking a bank alert can spark immediate panic, leading users to dial back without verification. This tactic preys on trust in financial institutions, aiming to extract personal details or install malware during the call. Here, the claim of suspicious activity on an AIB account screams phishing scam, a common ploy to bypass security protocols. Hang up instantly if you receive unsolicited alerts urging contact—always initiate communication through official channels like the bank's verified app or website. Enable two-factor authentication and report to authorities to shield your info; vigilance turns these tricks powerless.
