Surprisingly, the 1‑833‑735‑1897 texts that claim to be bank fraud alerts are almost always a scam. Callers often know the correct last four digits of your card, making the message feel authentic, but they then request full card numbers, SSNs, or personal details. Never reply “YES” or share any info; instead, hang up and call the number on the back of your card or log into your bank’s official website. Verify any suspicious charge directly with your institution. If you accidentally gave data, monitor your accounts, place fraud alerts, and consider a credit freeze. Treat any unsolicited request for verification as a red flag.
