You’ll receive a call from someone pretending to be from your bank or the police, telling you they’ve spotted some suspicious activity on your account, or that your card needs to be replaced. They may also say that the bank or your local branch are involved in the fraud. They’ll ask you to call the bank or police back directly. However, they’ll stay on the line, so you’re actually still speaking to them. You’ll be asked for your PIN or details of your accounts, then the fraudster will send a courier to pick up your card, which they’ll be able to use because they’ll now have all the necessary personal information they need.
