Phishing Text from PTSB?
Summary — +353872470991
Expert Opinion
In Ireland, a midday text like this from an unknown source often signals a phishing attempt. The message claims a direct debit setup with a fake company and a bank you don't use, pressuring for a quick reply to extract personal details or money. Ignore it entirely—don't respond, click links, or call back, as that confirms your number is active for more spam. Report the number to your carrier and the Data Protection Commission to help block similar scams. If worried about real debits, check your actual bank statements directly through official apps or websites. Staying vigilant prevents identity theft and financial loss.
