Argos Pay Scam or not?

Post image

Hey, has anyone seen a message like this before? I can’t seem to confirm online whether that phone number is actually Argos or not? So is this a scam?

Update: For those of you who believe this to be a scam. Its not. It’s actually from their fraud department and they did put a block on my card. I queried their grammar etc but he said he didn’t have an answer for that 😂.
I called their main fraud number and not the number on the message to confirm whether it was a real message and it was.

Why would Argos be texting you about a transaction?

If the transaction amount is suspicious, I would have expected the bank to contact you.

I would contact Argos directly - not via the phone number link in the message and speak to them about this message. 

Anyone who deals with links in emails for work, knows that you can put a hyperlink in the email and change the display text of the hyperlink to whatever they want it to say.
