The Scam
•
Someone impersonating your bank contacts you about unusual activity and asks to verify your PIN.
• They ask to collect your card or its chip to keep it safe or recycle it.
With your PIN plus the card or chip, scammers can quickly empty your account.
Stay on guard:
Don’t act until you call the bank directly.
Take time to confirm things no matter how urgent anyone says it is.
