Gardaí are warning people against sharing their bank or personal details over the phone.
Scammers are trying to access sensitive financial information through an automated call which claims that a €600 tranaction has taken place on your bank account, and the call is then transferred through to a call centre.
The scam caller is telling people that a sum of money has been requested from their bank accounts and that they can stop that payment going through.
They are then asking people to download an app which when used legitimately enables you to send files back and forth and share information between devices but could be used in
to gain information or transfer files from your tablet computer or device when downloaded.
Gardai say no legitimate company would act in such a manner and are advising people to hang up and ignore the callers.
