Didn't answer as my phone said suspected scam/fraud but also suggested survey. Since New Year's Day I have been bombarded with text messages from fake casinos and have had a call I inadvertently answered from people I know are part of a cryptocurrency scam. Decades ago it was letters you would get out of the blue from Nigeria or elsewhere trying to enlist your help getting £millions out of the Nigerian Central Bank in Lagos. Now it is AI powered increasingly sophisticated email and phone scams including ones masquerading as people or businesses you know who they have mined to get your contact details. Banks are now hyper cautious about virtually any spending on anything and asking account holders to confirm multiple times that a payment they want to make is genuine. Go figure
