Nutzer berichten von Anrufen bezüglich Online-Zahlungen und der Aufforderung, persönliche Infos einzugeben. Die Mehrheit der Kommentare deutet auf ein automatisiertes Verifizierungssystem der Halifax-Bank hin, das bei der Einrichtung von Online-Banking, App-Downloads oder neuen Überweisungen aktiv wird. Solche Anrufe senden oft einen Code zur Bestätigung und fordern nie PINs oder sensible Daten. Dennoch mischen sich Scam-Versuche ein, bei denen Betrüger als Bank vorgeben und Zahlungen verlangen – besonders nachts oder bei Nicht-Kunden. Bleiben Sie wachsam: Legitime Banken rufen nicht um Mitternacht an und bitten nie um Codes am Telefon. Rufen Sie bei Zweifeln direkt die offizielle Hotline an, um zu prüfen. Ignorieren Sie verdächtige Anrufe und melden Sie Scams an die Bank oder Behörden, um Betrug zu vermeiden.
