Scam text message
Hello,
Has anyone else received a text message from '645820' reading' Your one time passcode is ????? for a purchase of £600for Air BnB ref ????? if this was NOT you please call our fraud team on 0330 912 8063' (???? used instead of the actually codes the text contains)
I've checked my account and can't find any records of a booking and no payments from my bank account.
Googling the phone number finds no reference of air bnb either.

@Emma2933 I am almost certain that this a scam text. You can report it to action fraud at the following link
https://www.actionfraud.police.uk/report-phishing
Most phone providers are part of a scheme that allows customers to report suspicious text messages for free by forwarding it to 7726. If you forward a text to 7726, your provider can investigate the origin of the text and arrange to block or ban the sender, if it’s found to be malicious.
