Avoid calling back—these texts are a textbook scam. The messages use vague bank names and urgent language to lure you into sharing personal data, often asking for Social Security numbers or account details. Never provide sensitive information to an unknown caller, and don’t click links in the text. Verify any alleged issue by contacting the institution directly using a known phone number or website, not the one supplied in the message. Report the number to your carrier and to the FTC to help curb future abuse. Staying skeptical and protecting your personal info is the best defense.
