I received a call claiming unusual activity on my card, mentioning purchases at Shein and Amazon. I told the caller I never shop at Shein and had only bought something on Amazon today. He then recited the last four digits of a card that was compromised months ago, prompting me to label it a scam before he hung up. Two minutes later the same number rang again, but I ignored it.

Expert Opinion
Imagine receiving a text that pretends to be your bank, naming a stranger as a direct‑debit beneficiary. The tone feels official, but the details don’t match anything you know, which is a classic red flag. Scammers often cite recent purchases or alleged card breaches to create urgency, then drop a half‑truth like an old card’s last four digits to seem credible. Never share personal or financial info over the phone, and always verify any claim by contacting the institution directly using a known number. If you suspect fraud, block the number, report it to your carrier and to the relevant fraud‑watch agencies.

At my telecom firm, an older client presented a message from this number that pretended to be PTSB, claiming her direct debit had been set up for a stranger named "Shane Doyle". We immediately blocked and reported it, since banks rarely disclose debtor names via insecure texts.
