Got a robo call claiming to be from 'YOUR BANK SECURITY' warning me about two charges from Amazon. Sounded dodgy to me, so I just hung up straight away.

You can catch this scam being featured on the BBC 1 show 'Scam Interceptors', which is available on iPlayer. It's pretty wild - some ethical hackers actually hack into the scammers' networks, letting you see live how these crooks try to steal money from someone's bank account, and how the defenders step in to block them. Really worth watching if you’ve got a bank account, honestly. If you get any scam texts, don’t forget to report them by texting 7726.
