[DK advisory - updated 20th Oct] To improve security, we’ve retired the “Pleo” sender name in Denmark. All Pleo SMS including OTPs now come only from 54 54 67 44 (our registered long code, harder to spoof). If you receive any other sender or are asked to call/follow a link, don’t respond and ignore those messages.
