Expert Opinion
Picture this: a sterile automated voice tells you there’s “fraudulent activity” on your checking account and urges you to press 1 or call a second number. The script is vague, offers no company name, and tries to scare you into handing over personal info. These calls are a classic scam that masquerade as a “National Check Registry” collection. The safest move is to hang up, never return the call, and block the number. Report the incident to the FTC and your bank, and educate coworkers so the pattern doesn’t spread. Keep a log of the calling number and share it with your employer's IT security team to prevent future workplace interruptions.
