AI Summary
Based on 1 community report
This Banff number appears to be used for insurance renewal scams. The caller claimed to represent a household insurance company and insisted on collecting bank details under the guise of a "verification check," refusing to name the actual company when asked. This is a classic tactic—scammers rely on vagueness and urgency to pressure you into revealing sensitive information before you can verify their claims. Legitimate insurance companies won't ask for full bank details over unsolicited calls, and they'll always identify themselves clearly. If you receive a similar call, ask for the company name and callback number, then verify independently using details from your original policy documents or their official website. Never give bank details to unknown callers.

1 totalThey claimed to be from a company . Indian female callled saying she was from my household insurance company and my insurance was about to expire. I asked her what was the name of the company. She wouldn't answer but said to renew the insurance she had to do a verification check. In other words she would need my bank details. I said my insurance is not about to expire and you have my details. She hung up. Definitely a scam.
