There have been several reports of bank account ‘smishing’ fraud attempts. 

Victim has received a text message that appears to be from their own bank, asking to verify a transaction by texting back yes or no. 

The victim then receives a telephone call and is told they must move money to a safe account. 

This is a scam! 

If you do receive a text or call from a person claiming to be from your bank then please do not give any personal information. 

Hang up, leave the line for a few minutes or use a different phone and always use the telephone number from the back of your card or bank statement.
