Last night- just as I was settling down to watch Strictly -I had 2 pings on my phone. I had messages to say my card had been used for 2 transactions & I would be unable to use my debit card until it had been sorted out & 2 phone nos. to call them on.
I bank with First Direct & I know they do not start messages with Hello & neither of the phone nos. were were FD either.
I rang FD & they confirmed that they were not from them & were scams but they looked very plausible.
It would have been easy at a time when I was settled & tired after a long day to have fallen for it ( mind you having worked in Finance I very much doubt I would) but some people could & probably did last night.
Just a word of warning if you ever get anything like this do not ring the number they give you but your own bank no.
Baby Reindeer - anyone watched it?
