Expert Opinion
Hang up immediately if a caller claims to be Scotiabank and asks for personal data. Most reports describe a silent pause, then a pushy script offering insurance or credit‑card protection that sounds official but quickly ends. Verify any outreach by calling the bank’s official number, never the one on the caller‑ID. Protect personal info by refusing to share birth dates, social‑security numbers, or account details over the phone. Install a call blocker and flag the number as spam in your phone settings. Keep a log of suspicious calls and report them to your financial institution’s fraud department for further bank verification.
