A text was sent to my phone claiming the payment was blocked, then saying Halifax will contact me about it. The message correctly listed the four ending digits of my account.

Expertadvies
Mid-afternoon in the midst of a quiet bank holiday, these reports paint a picture of persistent nuisance calls and texts masquerading as urgent bank alerts. Predominantly flagged as fraud, the messages reference compromised accounts or blocked payments, often citing Halifax or Lloyds with eerily accurate details like the last four digits of debit cards. One case involved drainage insurance sales to the elderly, leading to attempted unauthorised transactions—thankfully intercepted by vigilant banks. The sophistication lies in building trust before the sting. Block the number immediately, never share details, and report to Action Fraud straight away. Forward suspect texts to 7726 for network tracing. Stay sharp; these tactics prey on worry, but verification with your actual bank via official channels keeps you safe.

Got a call from the Fraud Line about a Lloyds Plc debit‑card transaction concern.
Apparently this number is from Halifax claiming our account had been compromised somehow
Ignore the sophisticated fraud texts asking you to confirm bank payments.
Although they appeared trustworthy, the individual turned out to be a fraud.
Two texts pretended to be from my bank, referencing the last four digits of my debit card; the first warned of an upcoming message, the second asked me to confirm a payment with a yes or no reply.
Received a warning about bank fraud while using Uber.
A firm pretended to sell drainage insurance and then texted an elderly resident at this number. Fortunately my bank blocked the payment and the genuine company confirmed they never contacted the resident. July 23.
This number was used to contact an elderly person, promoting drainage insurance and obtaining bank details, followed by a suspicious text message seeking authorization, which was fortunately blocked by the bank.
These calls are a nuisance, wasting time, and have been blocked as a result.
Looks like a payment scam.
A message arrived from this number after a declined payment; it looks like fraud to me.
