专家点评
Receiving an SMS claiming overpayment with Klarna, despite no account, raises red flags for potential phishing. Such messages often trick recipients into clicking dodgy links to steal personal data or install malware. Blocking the number is a smart first step, but also report it to your mobile provider and Action Fraud to help curb these scams. Enable two-factor authentication on real accounts, and never share details via unsolicited texts. Stay vigilant—phishing attempts like this are on the rise, so verify any claims directly through official channels. If concerned, monitor bank statements for unusual activity.
