"Claimed to be from my bank/credit card . Said person had tried to spend ยฃ280 with Amazon in Aberdeen and tried to d/l the mobile app, I would receive a new card. Said I would get call from FCA next day as it was ID theft . Thought it odd the FCA would be calling me but was rushing out so agreed. Next day at agreed time bank impersonator called to check I was ready for the call - amber light went off . Then person purporting to be from FCA sent link ( which I clicked -doh ) wanted me to complete as Sum Up invoice for ยฃ2000 so they could 'immediately reimburse me' rather than waiting for the fraudulent standing order payment to go through and then be reimbursed.Pointed out this was totally illogical , after 5 mins of this FCA impersonator cut off.Now have a link on my mobile I need to get rid of."
