A Diego Martin woman had more than $30,000 withdrawn from her bank account after clicking a fake Republic Bank link.

According to a police report, on Tuesday around 2.48 p.m. the 26-year-old victim received an SMS Message from contact number 343-3780, claiming to be a Republic Bank number informing her to click link "republiconlinettts.org". The victim subsequently clicked the link.

Around 2 p.m. the following day she made checks to her home Republic Bank branch and discovered $30,500 was transferred out of her bank account. She had given no one permission to remove that sum.
