Its committee meeting is on next door. Today, there is a headline in the Irish Independent, "16,000 victims of an i-spoof site had €40 million taken from them". I was just looking at a text I received at the weekend that stated there were difficulties with my delivery address and asked me to click on a link. It is pervasive. Sarah McInerney stated on the radio that she was caught by an e-flow text scam. I have certainly received text messages stating that I had not paid toll charges. I was not there so I knew I did not have an issue but people are vulnerable. They feel if the messages look like their banks and sound like their banks, it must be their banks but 99 times out of 100 it is not their banks.
