Just send any dodgy text messages to 7726, that’s all you need to do. If you want more info, look up 7726 and this email: [email protected]. There’s also a useful post about it a few posts down, maybe 9 or so.

Received a text supposedly from the FCA asking for cash. They wanted a code which I was told was for direct debit. Decided to block the number and not reply.

Got a message about Apple Pay just like the others here, but it showed up on Ellie's phone instead of mine. Ended up blocking the number and reporting it as spam since it was the same 020 code as mentioned above. Definitely a scam.

Like a few others have said, this is definitely a scam. I got a call from 07934 563447 saying my apple pay was active on something called "Ella’s iphone", and telling me to ring them back. I’ve had similar calls before, but from different phones and with other names mentioned. I’m defiantly marking this as spam!

Got a message about my Apple Pay alert being connected to some random phone number (when Apple Pay doesn’t even do alerts like that). I marked it as spam and reported it to both Apple and my phone company. Also forwarded it to 7726, which is the free number here in the UK to report spam texts.

My mum, who’s quite old, got a text from 07511 176310 claiming it was an 'Apple Pay Alert'. The message said her card ‘was added to Lauren’s iPhone,’ and if she didn’t know about it, she should ring 02045690840 straight away.

Just like the rest, no call came through - clearly another scam trying its luck.

Got a message saying my card was linked to Apple Pay but with a name I’d never heard before. No info about the bank or card company, just this phone number. Really dodgy.

Got a text from 07523099724 saying something about Apple Pay - like my card was just linked to Lauren’s iPhone. The message told me to ring 02045690840 if I didn’t know anything about it. I just ignored it and didn’t bother calling, figured it was one of those dodgy scams trying to catch me out.

Got a message from 02045690840 on 26/7/12 about some dodgy Apple Pay alert. It said a card was linked to Apple Pay on someone named Lauren’s phone and told me to ring 07541 642678 if I didn’t know what was going on. Seems like a classic scam to me.
