Ekspertvurdering
These communications pose a significant scam risk, impersonating reputable banks like First Direct and Barclays to extract personal details under false pretences of card issues. Recipients report texts from mobile numbers rather than official channels, a common tactic in phishing schemes. Legitimate banks never request sensitive information via unsolicited messages—always verify independently by contacting them directly through known numbers on your statements. Hang up or ignore such alerts immediately, and report to Action Fraud to curb wider threats. Enable two-factor authentication on accounts for added protection against fraudsters.

Received a text from an unknown sender, yeah.
Purportedly from Barclays Bank—please do not call them.
