Bank and Police Impersonation Calls

Scammers call posing as your bank's fraud team, HMRC, or even the police, claiming your account is compromised or you're under investigation. They may ask you to move money to a 'safe account' or hand over your PIN. Real banks and police will never ask for this. Hang up and call your bank directly using the number on the back of your card.
