I groggily answered the ringing phone at 6am, and was alarmed to hear an official-sounding robotic voice. “This is the alert system with Visa (or Mastercard) account services!” It went on to tell me that there were two suspicious charges to my Visa card.

Received a text supposedly from Rbs saying they needed to verify recent activity on my debit card which is now blocked. They included a phone number and said t bey would send me the details. 2 actual transactions and one for Edumaxitereosingalong sayin it was declined. Never did anything as suspected a scam.

This number poses as RBS to take money from your account. It says your card has been frozen and asks you to verify purchases recently made.

This number seems dodgy. It might to be some type of scam to get to your bank account details and or your debit card.details. This number will ring you as well as text you. The text (which pretends to be from your bank) will say..."We need to verify some recent transactions on your debit/credit card"
