You get a call out of the blue from ....let's say for example "Barclays. The caller is well spoken. He confirms that your card appears to be the subject of fraud and some security checks are needed. He reassures you by insisting that you must not reveal to him any if your security details but instead call the number on the back of your bankcard and you will be advised best how to proceed.
The caller does this and a female voice answers " good morning this is Barclays ...for example.... You have reached our fraud prevention team. Somehow, and I don't know how this is done, the line has remained open from the first call and you have just dialled back to the fraudster.
Once again you are advisfed not to reveal any security details.
You are then told that your account is currently under immediate threat and you are advised to log on and check whether any payments have been taken out of your account. You are then told that you will be given detail of s a high security account to which you must immediately transfer your money. You are given a sort code and account number.
Unfortunately people have done this in their droves. The poor lady being interviewed had paid over thousands, in fact her lifes savings and her bank are unsympathetic as she paid over the money willingly.
We all think we would never be taken in but we all need to remain vigilant
This works because on a landline the person making the call has to hang up to end the call. The person receiving the call can hang up but the call is still connected. If the fraudsters play dial tone after speaking to you you'd be none the wiser.
If you do get a call like this from your bank, then you should call the number on the card, but use a different phone- a mobile for instance, or try phoning somewhere else first, a friend or freephone number to check your line is clear.
Morning everyone. It's horribly wet here today.
It's only a game
