"Automated female voice said two suspicious transactions on my account this morning: £99 to Amazon and £799 to Zoom. Said to press a digit to speak to security. Same M.O. occurred from a different number last month to which I responded and spoke with an Asian-sounding man who obtained my address and postcode as a security check and asked for my account balance before the suspicious transactions. He perhaps obtained my debit card number but not the security code. I became suspicious when he asked if I held any other accounts elsewhere which might be under threat. I hung up and reported the incident to my bank who confirmed that it had been a phishing attempt. The call has been repeated using an identical voice and preamble (Amazon and Zoom) a few times from different numbers. I have blocked the number after each attempt."
