This appears to be a classic phishing attempt via SMS, mimicking AIB to steal your banking details or prompt action on your account. Scammers send fake verification codes for services like Apple Pay, urging you to call their bogus helpline—doing so risks giving away personal info. Hang up or ignore such messages immediately; never share codes or click links. To stay safe, verify directly with AIB through official channels like their app or website, enable two-factor authentication alerts, and report to authorities like the Gardaí or your phone provider. Block the number and use spam filters for peace of mind.
Yo, this reads like a phishing attempt – it texts: "AIB: Your verification code to configure Apple Pay is 663528. Please do not share this code with anyone. NOT you? Contact our helpline 01 913 6986"
