Received a text saying it was Severn Trent, telling me my account was logged into and asked me to reply YES or NO to say if I had done everything I'd logged in to do..?
Txt saying Halifax new payment set up and to go to site to confirm. Don’t bank with them so called the number and left a voicemail calling them a XXXXX 😂
Had two texts in the last week from this number both relating to Covid. The latest is suggesting clicking on a link to take me to local testing stations in Stoke on Trent.
Told me I was entitled to a Covid support grant. Believable as they had my name. I’ve lost two jobs this year due to Covid but if I wasn’t so suspicious maybe I would’ve fallen for it. They sent a text message offering 300 odd payment.
“VirginMedia:We were not able to process your payment on your latest bill. To avoid termination, update your details here:XXXXXXXXXX” was sent to me as a txt.
Halifax: A new payee (MRS K ADAMS) was setup via the Halifax mobile banking on 12/11/20 if this was NOT you, please visit: halifax-review.co.uk
Received the above message. I am a Halifax customer but this is a scam number. I checked my account and all was fine thankfully. Did panic me for a moment thou.
Got sent a message:
HSBC UK: A new payee to T CHARLES has been added to your mobile banking. If this was NOT you please visit: device-checkerlink.com/hsbc
Don’t visit site, if you do, DO NOT click anything at all.
Scam HALIFAX: A payment has been attempted from an unregistered device. If this was not you, please visit our secure page via https://Personal-payeehelp.com
Text me a few times claiming to be HSBC, a scam. One time said I had a new payee and another time said I had an unregistered payment of £182 from an unknown device - scam.
Halifax: A payment has been attempted from an unrecognised device. If you did not attempt this. Please visit : ———————
I don’t even have a Halifax account, pure bs, don’t click link
I got this text from them and don’t have a Halifax account.
Halifax Alert: You have successfully paired a NEW DEVICE on 19/10 at 12:16PM. If this was NOT you, visit:XXXXXX
Texted with fraudulent link, claiming to be HSBC:
“ HSBC: A payment was attempted from a new device. If this was not you, please visit: https://cancel-requestverify.com/hsbc/”
02 saying they haven’t received payment to click a link and add in card details. Checked My 02 app it’s been paid.. it’s a definitely a scam, how many poor people think there about to get cut off and fall for it, it’s disgusting
Apparently Halifax but I was a little unsure on the text message I received telling me a new devise had been paired and if it wasn’t me to click on the link, I have an account with this bank so checked on their website & was able to figure out it wasn’t them who sent me the text message.

This comes through as a text allegedly from paypal but it is fairly crude it asks you to click a link so just ignore and delete This happened 6 October 2020
HSBC:A payment has been attempted from an unrecognised device, if this was not you please secure your account using payee-secure-assist.com/hsbc
Do not bank with them and did not click on link. Scam and blocked.
Received message “PayPaI:To avoid suspension you need to accept our new terms and conditions. Please visit: XXXXXXX”. I didn’t click on the link I phoned PayPal instead to ask why they have texted me and not write to me like they normally do.....
Rubbish..... PayPal said, they have not sent such text message to me furthermore they don’t know my phone number only my email address. Number blocked
Said I registered for Halifax banking and if I wasn’t me, to click on a link. Please if you get this message don’t click on any foreign links. It’s a scam
Claimed to be XXXXX... “XXXXX Final Notice: Your direct debit has failed. Please setup your direct debit within 24 hours via https://XXXXX-final-notice.com“
Received a text saying it was from E.ON asking me to take part in a customer survey after my recent installation. Definitely a scam - I haven’t had any service with E.ON. I don’t even own or rent my own house. Blocked and deleted.
Received a text to ask if I would recommend Eon to a friend after my recent call to them. I replied but then received another text question so ignored that one....
Text message from Severn Trent, commenting about my recent request regarding account help or payment. Almost convinced because I made a recent card payment for a bill. Asked me to reply 'Yes' if I wanted help. However, given the variety of different companies being quoted below, this must be a scam.
Text asking about university experience but after replying asking who it was received no more replies. Unsure how they got my number/know what university I attended
