专家点评
Receiving a text claiming to be from Chase's fraud department about a Walmart purchase sounds like a classic phishing attempt. The credit card company's confirmation that no legitimate message was sent confirms it's fraudulent. Scammers often use this tactic to verify active numbers or trick you into responding, potentially leading to more spam or identity theft. Always verify suspicious messages directly with your bank through official channels like their app or website, never by replying to the text. Avoid clicking links or sharing info. If you've responded, monitor your accounts closely and consider freezing your credit for safety. Report to the FTC at reportfraud.ftc.gov to help others.
