Expert Opinion

Recent reports show the number appears as Scotiabank on caller ID, yet the voice on the line refuses to confirm any purpose without “identity verification.” This pattern is a classic bank‑impersonation scam. Treat any unsolicited call that asks for personal data with suspicion, even if the display name looks legitimate. Hang up, independently dial the institution’s official number, and confirm the request. Never share passwords, PINs, or account numbers over the phone. Use your phone’s block feature, and consider adding the number to a spam‑filter list. Finally, report the incident to your bank and to your local consumer‑protection agency for further action.
