A text.
Thanking me for my payment of £42.50 to Transport for London, with receipt number.
No clickable link on it and I've made no such payment.
I'm am at a loss to understand how but I'm guessing it's an attempted scam.

May be worth pinning this for anyone else to post scam attempts.

You'll probably get a follow-on text within a few days apologising for the error - 'click this link to arrange a refund'

Long-cons are becoming more common.

Just in case you are worried, I have some magic beans, if you want to swap a cow?
