Expert Opinion
Be wary of unsolicited calls or texts claiming urgent bank or account issues, as these often mask sophisticated scams. In this instance, messages mimic legitimate alerts from institutions like Lloyds, prompting replies that expose personal details, followed by calls seeking verification or balances. Never share sensitive information like account numbers over the phone with unknown contacts. If in doubt, hang up and contact your bank directly using a verified number from their official site. Enable two-factor authentication and monitor statements closely. Reporting to Action Fraud helps curb these threats. Stay vigilant to safeguard your finances.
