Bank of Ireland has warned customers not to engage with suspicious calls and emails pretending to be from the bank.
The bank is advising customers to double check the communication is genuine and if unsure, to contact the bank directly.
It also said that the fraudulent calls and emails can sometimes happen after a consumer interacts with the bank's social media pages on Twitter or Facebook.
