A woman from Kilkenny was the victim of a 'vicious scam call', according to local gardaí.
The woman was contacted by a male purporting to be from Revolut, who scared her by saying someone had taken out a €20,000 loan in her name.
In a panic, she divulged details which lead to the clearing out of her account and linked Bank of Ireland account. She has had to cancel all her cards and even her passport.
