Expert Opinion
Like a wolf in sheep's clothing, these messages masquerade as urgent family pleas to dupe you into action. They're classic scam tactics, often impersonating relatives with a 'new number' story to build false trust before requesting money transfers or personal details. The requests for £1635 payments or saving numbers scream fraud—legitimate family wouldn't demand funds this way via unsolicited texts. Hang up or delete immediately; never send money or info. Report to your bank and Action Fraud to shield yourself and others. Forward suspicious texts to 7726 for carrier blocks, and enable two-factor authentication everywhere for extra armour.

Scam
Need to make a transfer today but must wait 24 hours for my new number to be linked to online banking; could you forward the payment of £1,635 on my behalf and I’ll reimburse you tomorrow?
A message claimed, “MUM, store this new number,” which clearly looks like a scam.
