Expert Opinion
Calls from unknown numbers mimicking banks like Halifax or MBNA often signal a clever scam tactic. Scammers send texts posing as your financial institution to confirm or cancel payments, tricking you into replying with sensitive details. Halifax and MBNA have confirmed such numbers aren't theirs, highlighting how fraudsters spoof legitimacy. This rapid response after your bank reports suggests possible data leaks, though banks deny involvement. Stay vigilant: never respond to unsolicited texts asking for yes/no confirmations, always verify directly via official app or website. Block the number and report to Action Fraud for protection.
