Fake First Direct Payment Alert?

Expert Opinion
A suspicious text arrives, claiming to be from First Direct and urging a call to another number about a payment issue. This setup screams scam, with fraudsters posing as the bank's team to snag personal details or money. Recipients often feel a rush of worry, leading to hasty responses. Stay sharp: genuine banks never demand immediate calls via unsolicited messages. Hang up and contact First Direct directly using official channels. Block the number and report to Action Fraud. If details were shared, monitor accounts closely and consider a credit freeze. Awareness nips these nuisances in the bud.
