Public warned again over text scam

Gardaí are continuing to warn members of the public not to be caught out by a continuing text scam.

They report that an unfortunate person in Monaghan recently clicked on the link provided in a text message that resulted in the loss of a considerable sum of money to fraudsters.

“This is only one of numerous ways scammers have to take money from the bank accounts of unsuspecting victims.

“Please do not click on any links in unsolicited texts or emails. Simply screen shot them for the purpose of reporting it and delete them immediately. Be vigilant and don’t be panicked into taking action that may cost you your savings,” they advise.
