Bank Impersonation Scams: The Call That Steals Everything
Your bank will never ask you to move money to a 'safe account'. That single sentence defeats 90% of bank impersonation fraud.
Spoofed caller-ID
Scammers can make the call appear to come from your bank's real number. Always hang up and call back.
'Safe account' transfer
There is no such thing. It's the scammer's account.
OTP read-back
Never read a code to anyone on a call. Banks read codes TO you, not the other way around.
Screen-sharing 'support'
Anyone who asks you to install AnyDesk / TeamViewer is stealing your session.
The bottom line
If you're on the phone right now and unsure, hang up and forward the details to ScamGuard on WhatsApp.
