Refuse the call that moves money

Hang up on the most costly call there is, and be certain you were right.

A bank never calls to say your money is at risk and must move to a safe account. There is no such account.

The caller may know your name and your bank. That costs a criminal almost nothing.

Key points

• A bank never calls to move your money to a safe account
• Hang up, then call the number on the back of your card

What to remember

• Hanging up on a real bank costs nothing.
• There is no safe account. Hang up and call the number on your card.

Try this

Turn your card over tonight and put that number in your phone.
