Never trust unsolicited callers who claim to be from your bank; they often aim to harvest personal info. When a number you don't recognize rings, let the call go to voicemail and verify the request through official channels before replying. Avoid confirming any account details, passwords, or transaction history on the spot. If the caller pressures you or hangs up after a brief apology, treat it as a red flag and consider reporting the number to your bank's fraud department and the relevant consumer protection agency. Keep a log of suspicious calls and regularly review your account activity for any unauthorized changes.
Someone claimed to be from FNB, asked about a recent statement, but I don’t bank there. After I corrected them, they apologized and hung up.
