🚨🚨🚨!!!SCAM ALERT!!!🚨🚨🚨
For attention of people in Ireland - the #Mastodaoine @mastodon.ie
A good friend shared a text message they received from "eFlow" about an unpaid toll. eFlow is an Irish motorway toll operator.
(narrator's voice: It was not from eFlow 🙄).

Their phone had put it into the spam folder, but not all phones have equal capabilities, so this may get through on some devices.

If you click on the link, you will get taken to a very realistic and similar looking website, to the real eFlow one. They want you to update your details with them, including payment card.

I think most of you that have seen previous posts from me, won't fall victim to such a scam, but please do share this, so others will be aware of it.

If anybody has gone through with this "update", please contact your bank's fraud number immediately.

Let's stay safe out there.

h/t @justcallmepips for sharing.
