Never trust an unexpected call that claims a pre‑approved credit card from BMO. Scammers routinely spoof the bank’s caller ID and use vague business‑owner language to pressure you into sharing personal info. If the number isn’t an official BMO line, hang up immediately and verify the offer through the bank’s secure website or app—not by returning the call. Block the offending number and report it to the FTC’s spam‑call database. Keep a log of suspicious calls and enable two‑factor authentication on your banking accounts to limit exposure to caller ID spoofing, scam tactics, and fraudulent BMO offers.
