Fake bank call scam

What your bank will NEVER ask

• Your full PIN number over the phone
• Your online banking password
• You to transfer money to a "safe account"
• You to download AnyDesk or TeamViewer
• Your one-time passwords (OTPs)
• You to lie to other bank staff about why you are withdrawing

The "safe account" fraud

The most common variation asks you to move money to a "temporary safe account" while they investigate fraud. This account belongs to the scammer. Once transferred, the money is gone.

What to do when you get this call

• Hang up immediately
• Do not call back any number given to you by the caller
• Wait 5 minutes, then call your bank on the number on the back of your card
