Does this sound dodgy?

DH started to get a lot of random scam calls, always put the phone down on them, it got so bad with the worst being 14 calls in one day so he changed his number.

Then he started receiving emails about bitcoin then rexts, then letters in the post, as far as he can remember he never clicked a link.

Next thing he gers a card in the post with his full name and address, after a Google search the card is to be topped up as a pre paid card to use abroad, we had never heard of the company and never applied for the card. Called the card company and they said it could be a scam and to cut it up.

Yesterday there was numerous transactions from our joint account that needed to be approved on DHs app. It was for bookings.com for £0. Neither of us have attempted to make any transactions. He spike to the bank who said to contact the fraud team.

This is now getting ridiculous, DH is not so savvy and I fear there is only a matter of time before he slips up. What's going on and how do we make it stop??

Could he open a new bank account, it sounds like maybe his details have been compromised in some way

It wouldn't stop letters and calls but his money will be safer
