Sign in, and name the three things a bank never asks
Sign in without dread, and recognize instantly the three requests that no genuine bank has ever made.
Signing in feels like a test you might fail. It is a lock with three parts, all of them recoverable.
There is no fourth. If a request is one of those three, nothing about how convincing the caller sounds matters.
Key points
- Sign in to a bank without treating it as a test you might fail
- Name the three things no genuine bank has ever asked for
- Tell a safe security question from a dangerous one, by who dialed
What to remember
- Yours will look a little different, but every bank asks for something you know, then something only your phone or your hand can supply.
- You called them: ordinary. They called you: hang up.
