Strange message from 26464
Got a message from 26464 asking me if I would like half price calls to 5 favourite numbers on my Tesco mobile. I had already set upo these numbers before so I just thought they wanted confirmation. However, when I replied in the affirmative, they sent me a message showing only two numbers which are unknown to me, and wiping out the numbers I had previously set up with Tesco. It also blocked the Tesco service whereby you could change the numbers. Luckily, I went online and saw these two mystery numbers which I was able to delete and re-enter my five original numbers. Sounds like a scam but to what purpose. Surely no scammer coud benefit from this?

Me and 2 others I know on Tesco mobile have also receieved this text in the past week. We have all just deleted it as we know the numbers are already set up correctly.
I checked my numbers online this morning and all is ok. I didn't think about it being a scam, but I did think it was strange to have recieved it0
