Text message scam

Please be aware that there are a number of text messages that are stating they are from banks such as LLOYDS saying Your card was recently used at FLANNELS for £158.99. Please respond Y if this was genuine. If not then get in touch on and a phone number is provided. 

THIS IS A SCAM 

Even if you do have a LLOYDS account and you are worried that your card may have been used, never respond via a link or the number in a text message. Contact your bank on a number provided by the bank or  go to your nearest branch
