Expert Opinion

Recent reports reveal a surge of fraudulent texts claiming account issues, often masquerading as banks, retailers or delivery services. These messages typically urge you to click a link or call a short code to resolve a fake problem, then harvest personal data or charge fees. Never tap unknown links and avoid calling back to numbers you didn’t originate. Verify any alerts by logging directly into the official website or app, not through the message. If the text feels off, treat it as suspicious and block the sender immediately. Consider reporting the number to your carrier and to the FTC to help curb future scams.
