Bank / Card Fraud Scam
"We've detected fraud on your account — verify now."
How this scam works
A spoofed call appears to come from your bank's fraud department, claiming suspicious charges. They pressure you to 'verify' by reading a one-time code or moving money to a 'safe account'.
🚩 Red flags
- •Asks you to read back a one-time passcode (OTP)
- •Tells you to move money to a 'safe' or 'holding' account
- •Caller ID spoofed to match your bank's real number
- •Creates urgency so you don't call the bank yourself
✅ What to do
Hang up and call the number on the back of your card. Banks never ask for OTP codes or tell you to move money to another account.
