In recent days, multiple users have reported receiving text messages that claim to be from the Bank of America (BOA). These messages typically instruct the recipient to use a specific code to approve a wire transaction of varying amounts, usually to an individual named Linda. The texts include a phone number for the BOA helpline, urging you to call if you did not initiate the transaction. Many users have noted that these messages often arrive from phone numbers that have previously sent legitimate two-factor verification codes, raising concerns of potential spoofing.
According to user testimonials, these texts are suspected to be part of a broader scam operation. The aim is to trick recipients into calling the given helpline number, which may lead to an individual posing as a bank representative. This fake representative may then attempt to gather personal and financial information from the caller. One user mentioned that the scam seems particularly prevalent in Europe, though it's less common in the U.S. It's advised that if you receive such a message, you should refrain from taking any action and report the incident on platforms like ScamWatcher.

Same message, different code number and amount ($2997.11). It came from an SMS ID used by OpenTable for reservation verifications. Bet it was spoofed. Good thing I Googled the 855 number before calling it - always a good practice.
I suspect what they do is wait for folks to call the number, then try to get them to give some PII (Personally Identifiable Information). Be on guard!

Use code 121068 to approve your wire transaction of $ 2417.77 to Linda from your account, if not you call BOA helpline at 8553900467
What's odd to me is that in came in under a number that has sent me plenty of other two factor verification codes.
