Officers say the information asked for is more than what a bank would seek.
Gardaí have issued a warning after a number of people got text messages claiming to be from Permanent TSB advising of unusual online activity.
The messages contain a link, which will bring customers to a cloned website of the bank and ask for pins and passcodes, as well as other information.

The public is being advised to be wary of these texts and contact their bank directly if they have suspicions about communication.
