Yesterday evening, a text popped up claiming unusual activity on a bank account and urging a callback to verify a DoorDash or Wayfair purchase. The language is vague, the bank isn’t named, and the demand to call a stranger’s number is a classic phishing tactic. Recipients should never follow links or dial back without first checking their account directly through official channels. Block the offending number, report it to your carrier, and enable two‑factor authentication where possible. If the message references a specific merchant, contact that merchant’s support line independently. Staying skeptical and confirming any alerts on the actual bank website can stop these scam tactics dead‑in‑the‑water.
I recieved a scam text about supposibly unusual bank activity, but it didnt specify my bank's name, instead mentioning a vague purchse verification at Wayfair for $436.46, which is cleary a scam!
I recieved a text about unusual activty on my BofA account, they asked me to call the number if I didnt initiate the transaction, I checked my account online and I have alerts set up
