Got a text, which came allegedly from the Ulster bank on 12/05/23. The name Ulster bank displayed as source Said unusual activity on my account so had been frozen but would be calling me on this number to check particular items. They did not call so clearly inviting me to call them back, so presumably would then try to scam me thinking I was talking to bank
