Common scams include fake bank calls, texts, emails and websites that pressure you to reveal passwords, PINs or one-time codes, or to move money to a so-called safe account. Treat unexpected contact and urgent requests with caution; contact your bank only through its official app, website or a trusted statement, and never share security details or allow remote access to your device. If you may have been scammed, contact your bank immediately to secure the account and ask whether a payment can be stopped, then report it to An Garda Síochána and keep relevant messages and transaction details.
