Expert Opinion

You’d be shocked to learn that a single number can masquerade as dozens of banks in a single day, flooding phones with fraud alerts that feel official. Most recipients treat these calls as legitimate because the script mentions holds, case numbers, and 24‑hour availability. The safest move is to never share personal or banking details over the phone and to verify any claim by calling the institution using a number from a statement or official website. Enable call‑blocking or spam‑filtering services, and consider registering your number with the national Do‑Not‑Call registry. Staying skeptical and double‑checking can stop the scam before it steals your data.
