I cannot wait to engage with Revenue and get that money. I also won the Spanish lottery last year. Another person contacted me to ask could they put a couple of million in my bank account. Most of us are able to look at that sort of correspondence and think if it is too good to be true then it is. There are others ones, however. Revenue and eFlow are reputable organisations. I also have a text message from Virgin Media, which is legitimate, but comes in as 089 number. The message from eFlow came in as an 085 number and I do not know what was the case in respect of the message from Revenue. In terms of analysis, it is simple to send out 500,000 text messages and hope to catch out one person who is tired or not informed enough and who will click on a link. Is there data around how many messages are being sent out, who is clicking on them and who is going all the way? Are we identifying a cohort of people who are more vulnerable and susceptible to this than others? Is that sort of research being done?
