Expert Opinion
Getting calls that claim to be PNC loss‑prevention and ask for the last four digits of your card feels unsettling. The safest move is to end the call before sharing any personal data and hang up. Verification should be done by dialing the number on the back of your card or logging into your online banking portal—never use the callback number they provide. If the call was unexpected, consider reporting it to PNC’s fraud department and to the FTC or your carrier’s spam‑blocking service. Enable a call‑blocking app, set a strong transaction‑alert threshold, and regularly monitor statements for unauthorized activity.
