Scammers are sending fake texts claiming your card is locked or your account is frozen in hopes that you’ll panic-click their link. Don’t. These messages often lead to phishing sites designed to steal your login information.

Protect yourself by staying alert when you:

  • Receive unexpected texts about your account.

  • See links asking you to “fix” or “unlock” something.

  • Feel pressured to act immediately.

Text message scams are designed to create panic and urgency. Remember that legitimate companies rarely ask you to resolve account issues through unexpected text links.
