A Cork woman is urging people to be vigilant with text messages from banks after more than €10,000 was taken from her account in a scam.

Margaret opened up about her case as she wanted to try and help others so they do not go through the same thing she did. The ordeal was "terrifying" at the time and she is grateful that money was eventually returned to her.
