Family emergency text scam?
Summary — +447729855390
Expert Opinion
Caution is essential with unsolicited texts claiming family emergencies. These messages often mimic loved ones in distress, like a phone damaged by water, urging you to save a new number and send money urgently. Hang up or ignore such pleas immediately, and verify directly with the family member using a known contact method. Never share personal details or transfer funds without confirmation. Report suspicious texts to your network provider and authorities like Action Fraud to help curb these scams. Enable spam filters on your phone for added protection.
