The Tesco Credit Card text seemed authentic, mentioning a declined purchase earlier that day, quoting the amount and merchant I recognized, and asking for a Y/N reply to confirm the transaction.
Tesco Bank Call: Scam Alert!

Expert Opinion
Fraudsters are increasingly mimicking legitimate banks like Tesco to extract sensitive details. These calls often reference real transactions to build trust, as seen in reports of halted suspicious purchases. Despite initial appearances of authenticity, victims have lost access to accounts after sharing card info. Never disclose financial details over unsolicited calls; instead, hang up and contact the bank directly using verified numbers from your statements. Enable two-factor authentication and monitor statements closely. If scammed, report to Action Fraud immediately and freeze cards via your bank app. Stay vigilant—plausible doesn't mean genuine.

Recent Reports for 07445 195387
A well‑spoken gentleman, claiming to be from Tesco Credit Card, warned that a suspicious £5,000 Gucci purchase in Belgium had been blocked. He later sent a text using the same link I normally receive for Tesco payment reminders. I supplied details of two credit cards and two current accounts. When I checked the Tesco app, it indeed displayed the attempted Belgian transaction, making the call appear credible even after I reported my cards and they still tried to use one.
A call from this number pretended to be Tesco Bank, asking for details of a credit‑card transaction.
