Recently I got a text from my bank - First Direct re an attempt by a company - Peruvian Connection to charge my Visa. Not trsting texts I phoned my bank. The text was from them. Card blocked. New card issued. Prior to signing up for a cheap Lyca sim I had used the same card for years with no issues with big reputable companies.

Seems I am not alone.

LycaMobile Users: Had card fraud/attempted card fraud recently? — MoneySavingExpert Forum

I signed up for a LycaMobile plan in March 2024, I used a virtual card created exclusively for LycaMobile and even named it Lyca, cancelling it after my purchase.
