Gardai are warning bank customers to be vigilant, as scammers are particularly active around the festive season.

Regardless of which banking institution you use, Gardai are warning about several scams currently doing the rounds, usually involving text messages or unsolicited emails that ask for banking details out of the blue, or inform that accounts will be ‘locked out.’
