When a mysterious text or call urges you to dial a number and "reactivate" a debit card, treat it as a classic phishing ploy. Scammers often spoof local references—like Kitsap—to add credibility, then pressure you to share debit card details. Never enter personal or financial info on an unsolicited call; hang up and verify directly with your bank using official contact channels. Delete the suspicious message and consider blocking the sender. If you suspect fraud, report the incident to your financial institution and to the FTC. Staying skeptical and confirming through trusted sources is the best defense.
