"I was sent a text message claiming to be from my bank but text messages from my bank always have their name and this was just a random mobile number. It told me they'd blocked a standing order for a large sum of money and that I needed to contact them urgently on 020 3093 0215. When I rang it I felt something was wrong and told them I was going to independently check the number was a bank number. They asked why and said it was very important to cancel the standing order urgently. I hung up. The mobile number I received the text from was 07751 438 137"
