Expert Opinion
Reports keep surfacing that the caller asks you to have your card number ready for a representative. The pattern matches common bank‑impersonation scams: a urgent tone, request for personal or financial details, and a claim to be PNC loss‑prevention. Never share the full number, PIN, or security code over the phone, and verify the caller by ending the call and dialing the official bank number yourself. Use call‑blocking or spam‑filter tools, and report the number to the FTC or your carrier. Stay skeptical, keep your accounts monitored, and educate anyone else who might receive the same call.
