Recent reports indicate a surge in aggressive telemarketing calls that masquerade as bank representatives demanding attention about high‑interest rates. Callers often pressure recipients, refuse to let them speak, and use hostile language to create urgency. Never share personal or financial details until you independently verify the organization. Hang up if the caller becomes abusive or insists on immediate action. Register the number with your carrier’s blocklist, and report the incident to consumer protection agencies. Keep a log of the call time, number, and script excerpts to aid investigations. Staying calm and skeptical helps avoid falling for deceptive sales tactics.
The operator introduced himself and his service, then claimed I was at the location my bank charges high interest. I told him I was at work, and when I asked if he could speak, he refused, becoming aggressive. I ended the call.
