Expert Opinion
A fraudster posing as a bank security agent rings up, insisting on your one-time passcode to 'verify' a transaction. This classic ploy aims to hijack your account for illicit purchases, often with a rushed, urgent tone to pressure you. The slip-up in masking the number hints at amateurish tactics, but the risk remains high—handing over codes grants instant access to funds. Always hang up without sharing details; verify independently by dialling the official number from your card. Report swiftly to Action Fraud to curb these pests. Stay vigilant, as such calls prey on trust in familiar brands like American Express.
