Supposedly from Halifax, but dialing the number yields an automated greeting riddled with odd grammar. Anyone have any info?

Like a wolf in sheep's clothing, this number masquerades as a legitimate seller or bank contact to lure victims into traps. Reports paint a clear picture of phishing attempts, often tied to online purchases on platforms like eBay, where dodgy texts demand re-payments or card verifications via suspicious links. One case flagged a Halifax impersonation with robotic messages riddled with poor grammar, a classic red flag for scams. Victims wisely contacted banks promptly, halting potential fraud—always verify independently through official channels. Block the number immediately, report to Action Fraud, and monitor accounts closely. If in doubt, hang up and ring your bank directly using the number on your card. Stay vigilant to avoid these crafty cons.

After ordering from an eBay seller last night, I discovered this number was linked to them. They sent a strange text about the purchase with a link, which I ignored. My bank's fraud team acted swiftly and blocked my card, thankfully.
The SMS asks if I used my card at a particular shop and urges me to confirm and repay; I haven't, so I'll contact my bank.
They were attempting to swindle cash; if they're based in the UK they'd better be deported, otherwise the army should be dispatched to deal with them.
Got a message from this number demanding a second payment for an online purchase, though I never paid.
