Danske Bank Warns Customers Of Fraudulent Text Messages

Danske Bank customers in Northern Ireland have been urged to report incidents of SMS text messages asking the customer to call a 0330 number.

The bank has issued a warning to people that the number they are being asked to call is not genuine after it was discovered that a fraudulent text message was being sent out to customers via the official Danske Bank text stream.

In a statement Danske Bank said: "There are no circumstances where Danske Bank will ever ask you to share PINs, passwords or log on details.

"Be aware of texts, calls, emails or online messages requesting 'urgent' callbacks or requesting your personal security details. If you do release these details, it will expose you to risk of fraud. Our legitimate numbers can be found on our Useful Numbers page."
