The thing is that they are able to spoof numbers to make it appear that they are from a number that you know eg your bank.
There's the 'mum' scam where they pretend to be the child of a parent and send a text saying that they are in trouble & need money urgently. They may say that your daughter has lost/had stolen her phone. Despite being told this, always ring her on the number(s) you have for her to check it's legitimate first.
Hopefully the changes later this month will stop most (or even all) of these calls.
