专家点评
Receiving an unsolicited text claiming to be from RBS with a verification code, especially when you're not a customer, raises red flags for potential fraud. Scammers often pose as banks to trick recipients into disclosing the code or personal details, leading to account takeovers. Such messages exploit trust in familiar institutions like RBS, but the warning against sharing even with bank staff is a classic tactic to isolate you. In the UK, genuine banks never request codes via text. Block and report the number immediately to your network provider and Action Fraud. Enable two-factor authentication on real accounts and verify any bank contact directly through official channels. Staying vigilant helps curb these widespread phishing attempts in telecom.
