Expertomdöme
Who would've thought a simple text about an OTP could unravel into a full-blown phishing trap? These messages impersonate trusted names like John Lewis Credit and Ocado Ltd, claiming an authorisation code for a purchase you never made. Recipients rightly spot the red flags—unfamiliar transactions and dodgy follow-up numbers like 02037638510—and block them sharpish. It's classic SMS phishing, designed to trick you into calling back or sharing details. Stay vigilant: never respond to unsolicited OTP requests, verify directly with the company via official channels, and report to your provider or Action Fraud pronto. Forward suspicious texts to 7726 for free spam alerts too.

A message arrived reading: “JOHN LEWIS CREDIT: OTP 637450 for OCADO LTD. If you didn’t request this code, call 02037638510.” I hadn’t asked for an OTP nor shop with Ocado, so I flagged it as spam, blocked the number and reported it to my carrier.
