"SCAM BANK CALL. Like the usual scammers, they left a message on my voicemail (automated voice), telling me about a false claim of 2 payments that weren't authorised on a bank card. Of course, the call didn't call me by name or say the bank's name once. It's a scam to get you to ring back, which is what they want because they will probably ask you security questions to find out how much they can get if you panic. The bank doesn't make calls like this. I'll report this number to the "Report Fraud" website (used to be Action Fraud) and I advise you to do the same for any SCAMMER call. Which! Magazine recommends the website if you want to check my link."
