Is this fraud alert text from my bank real?
Reviewed answer
Banks send real alerts, but verify this one through your bank's app or card number.
- Open your banking app directly and check transactions and alerts.
- Call the number on your card or statement if anything is unclear. Do not use a number supplied in the text.
- Do not share a code, approve an unexpected sign-in, or move money to a supposedly safe account.
