I received a text stating I made a purchase. I never use wallet app or have any credit card stored.

Never use this app and I received this text while I was at the doctors office.

From time to time, you will see texts or emails thanking you for purchasing something......(which you never purchased)......but mentioned that you can cancel things by clicking on a link or calling a toll free number. These are always scams trying to trick you into believing they are real so you will reveal personal info and passwords when you respond.


Delete messages like this immediately. NEVER click or tap on a link in these messages, no matter how "authentic" they might appear to be.
