A text arrived on 13 August containing only the word 'hello'. I looked up the number the following day and found it flagged on multiple sites, suggesting a scammer testing whether I’ll bite.

Beware of unsolicited texts like this one—it's a common scam tactic to prompt a reply and initiate contact. The pattern here, with just a 'hello' message, suggests the sender is testing for active numbers before escalating to more deceptive requests. Do not respond or engage; block the number immediately on your phone. Report it to your network provider and via Action Fraud's website to help track these nuisances. If you've already replied, monitor your accounts closely for any unusual activity and consider changing passwords. Staying vigilant prevents these opportunists from gaining a foothold.

Simply the word 'Scan'.
Got a single‑word text reading 'HELLO' – clearly a scam.
Same here – just a “Hello” text, looks risky, mate.
