Are you receiving strange text messages? There are a variety of scams out there and the best way to prevent financial loss and identity theft is to identify them and block them. Don’t tap on any text message links.
Perhaps they are telling you that your bank card starting with #### has been compromised and to follow the link to resolve the issue. Sometimes there is a bank logo attached, to attempt to make it look legit. How do you know it is a scam? All the bank cards issued by that bank begin with the same set of numbers, they are not using information tied specifically to you. If you are in doubt, check your bank through your banking app or website – Never through the link sent in that text message.
How about the text messages warning you that you were caught by a speed camera and need to pay that ticket through the link. How do you know it’s a scam? Traffic tickets are mailed to you, it will state when the traffic violation occurred, along with the photo taken of your vehicle and license plate. They will never reach out by phone.
