Got a text from 07 745 472 866 claiming to be Barclays about a charge from Virgin Media. They asked me to ring 01 653 524 972. Seems dodgy to me.

Scam about an Argos payment. "If this wasn't you call this number."

Got a text saying something about a transaction at Argos and that it was from Stirling bank, telling me to ring a number. Total scam, so be careful!

I was given this number to ring and check on a dodgy bank charge, but I have no idea who they were.

My other half received a text claiming it was from Halifax about a payment of £473.19 to IKEA. We've never even been near that store!

Got a text claiming it was from Nationwide about a payment to Argos for £673.19. But I don’t have an account with Nationwide and haven’t bought anything from Argos either. Seems fishy to me.
