AIB is urgently warning all customers about a taxi scam that is seeing some customers part with their cards after being tricked by criminals.
The "strange" trick sees a fraudster, pretending to be from AIB, calling or texting you to tell you your card details are already in the wrong hands of criminals and AIB have arranged for a taxi to collect your card from you.
It has already tricked some people with the bank sending out a warning to all customers about the trick.

The bank says: "The scam sees a genuine taxi arrives, collects your card, and innocently delivers it into the hands of a real criminal. They now have access to the money in your account.
"While we may call you if we see suspicious activity on your card, we will never ask you for your card back. We will never send a taxi to collect the card. We will never ask you to click on a link.
"If you get a call about suspicious activity on your card and the call sounds strange in any way, just hang up. You can also freeze your card or cancel it online."
An email from the company to customers adds: "This may sound like a strange idea, but it shows the lengths fraudsters will go to get their hands on your card."
