Recent snippets show a pattern of unsolicited texts claiming to verify debit card activity, often citing major banks like BOA and urging recipients to click suspicious links. Such messages typically aim to harvest credentials or install malware. Never follow links from unknown numbers, and verify any alerts directly through your bank’s official app or website. If a text references a lock on your card, contact the institution using a phone number from your statement, not the one in the message. Consider reporting the number to your carrier’s spam‑blocking service and enable two‑factor authentication on your accounts to reduce risk.
