I've just received a text notification from "Barclays" saying that Samsung S10 device has just been paired with my internet / mobile banking and if it's not me, click the link.

I do bank with Barclays and I do have a Samsung but I have not used it in recent times to log in to my internet banking.

The number seems to be from a dodgy one from India. Please be on your guard.
