Eflow Text Scam Message - How to Protect Yourself

Protect Yourself

• eFlow's Official Policy: eFlow does not send links in text messages. Any text from them containing a clickable link is fraudulent.
• Common Tactics: The texts often create a false sense of urgency, claiming you have a "failed payment," an "unpaid radar ticket," or that your vehicle registration will be suspended if you don't pay immediately.
• Suspicious URLs: The real eFlow website is eflow.ie. Scam texts often use fake addresses like "efelow.click," "eflow-payment.com," or domains ending in ".icu".
• Widespread Attacks: Fraudsters have been known to set up as many as 10 fake eFlow websites in a single day to evade detection.

What to Do

1. Do Not Click: Avoid clicking any links or replying to the message. Even replying can signal to scammers that your number is active.
2. Delete Immediately: Once you've identified it as a scam, delete the text and block the sender.
3. Check Your Account Safely: If you are worried you actually owe a toll, go directly to the official eFlow website or use the eFlow app to check your balance.
4. Reporting: You can report suspicious texts by emailing a screenshot to your bank's security team.

If you have already entered your details on a suspicious site, contact your bank immediately to freeze your accounts and report the incident to your local Garda station.
