Donegal Gardaí are reminding the public to never click a link on a suspicious text message and to delete it upon receipt.
A text purporting to be from a bank warning of unusual activity is doing the rounds.
The recipient is told their card has been placed on hold until further action is taken.
Gardaí say if you have fallen victim to such scam, to report it to your bank and to then get in touch with your local station.
