M&T Bank phishing alert – what to watch for!
Summary — +17812080557
Expert Opinion
Clearly, these messages are classic phishing attempts. The texts claim a bank transfer, a mysterious debit, or a WhatsApp chat, then push a link or a 1‑800 number. Since none of the senders provide verifiable credentials, the safest move is to ignore the link, never share personal info, and contact the institution directly using official channels. Block the number, report the incident to the FTC or your carrier, and enable two‑factor authentication on any financial accounts. Regularly review account activity and consider a spam‑filter app. Staying skeptical and verifying sources stops most phishing and scam schemes.

I recieved a text messgae saying my card was debited for a couch, and they left a link to a 1800 number, which seems fishy
This is clearly a fraudulent activity, as the text message contained only a link without any explanation or context regarding the sender's identity or purpose.
I got a text from this number about a transfer of funds from M&T Bank, but i dont have an account with them, it's probably a scam, dont trust it.
