Poll: Have you ever received a smishing text message?
SMISHING SCAMS HAVE seen people across the country targeted in recent days.
Yesterday, Bank of Ireland said it would be conducting a review after people reported being taken in by fraudulent text messages.
Some customers reported losing thousands of euros after inadvertently giving banking information to fraudsters.

Poll Results:
Yes (2914)
