I got a text claiming my card was compromised.
Not being 100% certain if genuine I opened the app first to get a similar message.
It turned out a test zero sum transaction had been done, no doubt using millions of stolen details from one of the thousands of hacked retailers.
A quick phone call by me and my card was cancelled and replaced in 48 hours.
Unfortunately it is getting ever more sophisticated. So expect Chat GPT calls/texts impersonating family members.
