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.

Expert Opinion
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.
