I need your full name and address. I also need you to give me your bank account number.
really? don't you have that information already?
yes, of course. but we need to confirm that we have the correct details. sometimes people change their address and forget to tell us.
no, I have not changed my address. my details are the same. I think I will go to the bank to confirm this.
there is no need to come to the bank. we can do this over the phone now. it's easier for you.
I'm sorry, but I'm not going to give you my personal details.
hello? is there anyone there?

- Say that you have won a prize or there’s money waiting for you.
- Say that you owe them money and if you don't pay you will be arrested.
- Use ‘robocalls’ or recorded messages saying your internet will be disconnected and ask for payment or personal information.
- Lie and tell you stories, like your computer needs urgent attention.
- Say it’s an emergency and tell you something bad will happen if you don’t click a link or call a number to check your details.
