Do not say anything, do not press any buttons!!! Block the number!!! If you press anything, they will then try to get your personal information from you. Please don't fall for this. Always hang up on anyone claiming to be your bank and call your bank on your trusted phone number, or dial 159 (the secure phone number managed by Stop Scams UK). If anyone tries to give you a number to call, do not do it - call on trusted numbers only. Stay safe x"
