Scam Texts

There’s a rash of scam texts going around at the moment (and posts asking about scam texts). *If you think it’s a scam then it probably is a scam.*

u/MayoMick wrote a helpful little wiki guide to identifying and reporting scams on [r/AskIreland here](https://www.reddit.com/r/AskIreland/wiki/scams/).

Examples of scam texts we’ve seen popping up today and recently (links will be partially obfuscated to prevent accidental clicks):

Don’t fall for scams, and don’t let your parents fall for them either.

If anyone is suspicious of a text please comment in here but do not make a post.
