Ignore unsolicited calls requesting personal or financial details. This number poses as a bank official seeking transaction approval, a classic scam tactic to steal information. Hang up immediately and contact your bank directly using verified numbers from your statements. Enable call blocking on your phone to filter unknowns. Report suspicious activity to authorities like the FTC or your local consumer protection agency. Stay vigilant—legitimate banks never demand urgent authorizations over unsolicited calls. Verify everything independently to safeguard your accounts.
