AIB has issued a fresh warning about scam attempts by fraudsters pretending to be from the bank.
Scammers are continuing to target the Irish public in order to take their money or personal details.
People tend to be contacted by criminals pretending to be from financial institutions, delivery companies and government departments.
Thousands have been caught out already by fraudsters trying to part them with their hard-earned cash or private information.
In a fresh reminder, AIB reiterated to the public that they will never send customers a text message containing a link to a website.
It comes after one person contacted the institution on Twitter to query whether the text they received was legitimate.
They asked: "@AskAIB this just got sent to me. Pretty sure it’s a scam and I haven’t touched the link.
"Came in on a legitimate AIB message thread."
They also attached an image of the message, which read: "AIB: A login attempt was made from Location: Manchester, GB. If this was NOT you, please follow the steps here: aib-online-alert.com."
In response, a customer service agent from the bank confirmed that the text was a scam attempt.
They said: "Hi, Thank you for sharing this. That is a fraudulent text message, AIB will never send you a text message with a link for a website.
"If you receive any text messages with a link it is best to just delete them."
