Plaid
My friend text me this text she got on her phone - it is from a company called Plaid. She had no idea what it was - so I did a little research and found out that it is a service that connects your financial accounts to — and shares their information with — an app, website or service. She freaked out and said she does non of her banking on her phone what so ever and deleted. Does anyone else see other potential issues with this?

Richard's response to this was, "Yes Plaid is a payment gateway, like Stripe or PayPal. If she doesn't have an account it could be smishing (fraudulent text) either designed to get a response from her so they can try and get her to do other actions, or her number was being used for an account. I would suspect the first, unless someone mistyped their phone number, which would be one in a million but could also happen. I would recommend deleting in my opinion. I think the other thing to record would be the number that the text came from, if it came from Plaid or if it came from someone random."

I'm not familiar with Plaid myself but I know Norten Anitvirus has an article on them. https://us.norton.com/blog/account-safety/is-plaid-safe

That's a new one. Scam goes up 21% during the Christmas season so expect more of the same in the days to come
