People are being hit with fake texts claiming their Apple Pay has been suspended, pushing them to tap a link and ‘fix’ it. The link goes to a fake page built to swipe your details — the panic is the whole point.
The move
Don’t tap the link — open Wallet or Settings yourself and check Apple Pay there. If you’re still unsure, call your bank on a number you trust (in the UK, 159 puts you through to your bank and can’t be faked).
