Mice! Posted January 11, 2021 Report Share Posted January 11, 2021 I had a strange scam tried on me Sunday, my mrs set up a standing order from one of my accounts, I had a text msg saying the usual you have set up... if this is not you....... Twice that day I had the following. I don't have a HSBC account, I didn't screenshot the first msg, I just blocked it and deleted it. Seemed very strange this coming through after having set up a standing order. I'm sure some would have clicked on the link. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pure coincidence, don’t worry, you’re system hasn’t been compromised. These texts are so frequent at the moment I imagine there are hundreds of people asking the same thing across the country having received one just after setting up a new payment.
