Bank warning over ads impersonating well-known retailers

Example cam ads flagged by Bank of Ireland.

Bank of Ireland is warning customers about social media advertisements currently in circulation, which are impersonating well-known retailers offering deals and bargains.

As online shopping peaks at Christmas, the bank said fraudsters are increasingly targeting consumers through scam social media advertisements. The ads impersonate well-known retailers, luring shoppers with fake offers and directing them to counterfeit websites designed to steal personal and financial information.
