Got a text faking to be from First Direct about a dodgy transaction, urging to ring this number for their fraud team if it's unfamiliar. Obviously impersonating a bank.
Suspicious Transaction Hoax – Beware!

Expert Opinion
Hang up immediately on any unsolicited calls or texts claiming suspicious activity—never dial back or share details. These messages mimic banks like Barclays or First Direct to trick you into revealing personal info for fraud. Verify directly with your bank using official numbers from their website or app, not the ones provided. Scammers often clone legitimate formats to seem authentic, but the mismatched mobile senders are a dead giveaway. Report to Action Fraud and your bank to help stop them. Block the number and enable two-factor authentication for extra security. Stay vigilant; genuine banks won't pressure you this way.
