I've received six texts so far this weekend, five supposedly from 'AIB' and one 'BOI'.
Has anyone else been bombarded lately?
A quick reminder NEVER to click on the link in the text. Log in the normal way if you want to check. Mrs  |

Got a quote from an insurance company (online) and low and behold I am getting messages from a dating site.
The insurance company sent me the quota by text and the dating texts came in on the same number.
I thought all this was illegal now? |

YES!! Buckets of them. About 9!!! So annoying. But what’s worse is that my Mam and aunts get them and are genuine concerned. So hard to keep telling them “DONT TRUST A TEXT”!!! Makes them feel very vulnerable. |

It is illegal to a point but the complaints procedure is such that it takes so long and is so fecking complicated that no one does much. |

Its the dating text tricking your phone to use the other number as far as I know
I get them via my number stored in my phone for BOI to trick me |

Yes, my mother is notorious for clicking into stuff she shouldn't, but she's learning the hard way. Signing up for useless premium services has to be the greatest "legitimate" scam going.
I don't answer a call or text that I don't know to be a definite contact, and even then, I'm not always sure. The scammers are getting very sofisticated.
