Lord, that's an insane amount of data.

One said my main checking account bank access was locked out due to suspicious activity just minutes after I did something I might expect a bank to flag (paying an individual via PayPal and multiple charges at a single gas station). I wasn't in a position to verify it at the time (I don't do bank stuff on my phone, and I certainly wasn't going to click the link), so I switched to using another card while I was out. A few hours later, I got another phishing message about the card I had switch to.
I don't get many phishing attempts on my phone and they've always been for banks or other services I don't even use. I'm really hoping it's just coincidence that I got 2 semi-believable attempts in a row because the alternative is that they're able to see what I'm doing in real-time.
