Expert Opinion
Spot these texts swiftly to dodge trouble. Messages posing as First Direct alerts about fake transactions, like one to Argos for £449.99, scream scam—banks never demand replies via text for disputes. Forward them straight to 7726 to report the spam and help block the number. Block it on your phone, and ignore any urges to respond; scammers fish for confirmations or personal details. If worried about real accounts, contact your bank directly through official channels, not the dubious message. Stay vigilant against such phishing ploys to safeguard your funds.
