A Donegal woman has lost a substantial amount of money after falling victim to a smishing scam.
Gardai in Milford are investigating the incident which occurred on Saturday between 4pm and 7:30pm.
The woman received an SMS informing her that her bank account had been frozen.
She subsequently received a phone call instructing her to insert her card into a card reader which resulted in funds being withdrawn from her account.
