Bank of Ireland Warning of Spike in ‘Safe Account’ Scam
June 9 2025
Bank of Ireland is warning customers about a dramatic increase this week in reports and cases of an attempted ‘safe account’ scam. Customers should be on particular alert for fraudulent texts that attempt to lure them into to calling a fake ‘bank’ phoneline – where the account holder is then duped into transferring funds to their secondary account, in most cases Revolut, and in turn a ‘safe account’, which is controlled by a fraudster.
