It looks like a bunch of people are getting scam texts that appear to be from major banks like Chase, Wells Fargo, and Visa. The texts claim there was an unauthorized purchase and ask you to call +18443958182 if it wasn't you. These messages are often riddled with typos, like "wallmart" instead of "Walmart." The caller is definitely a scammer trying to trick you into giving out personal information. If you get one of these texts, do not call the number. Instead, contact your bank directly using the number on the back of your card or their official app. Stay vigilant and report these texts to your phone provider as spam.

Legitimate companies like Visa would not initiate contact via call or text, so it's essential to verify the authenticity of such interactions by contacting the number on the back of your card.
