Your bank will NEVER call you. If someone says they're from the bank - hang up and check with your bank. Scammers are getting smarter and it's up to us to keep up to date with scams.
I work for a credit facility and @beckscald3855 you are incorrect. Your bank can and will call you if they recognise your account is compromised and requires action to protect it. However, your bank/credit facility will never EVER ask for your PIN or your pass code sent to your phone. If you receive a call from your bank/credit facility they will absolutely be happy to end the call and for you to call them on the number printed on your card.
@@hextree that's a bit different. You'd also be able to check your bank account to see if things track. They wouldn't call you out of the blue regarding something like what he's been through. I would always recommend hanging up and calling the bank back. Then you know its 100% legitimate.
My Mrs had the exact call and was falling for it was only by chance I overheard the conversation and knew that banks never ring you from the fraud team first red flag "they will never ring you"..... Grabbed the phone from her and told him I knew his game he hung up instantly. I saved her from a right mess.
It is okay to say you are not feeling sorry BUT there are some disgusting, manipulative, coercive and sick people out there. It makes me sick and so angry knowing those people are out there!
Scammers are getting better. The lesson here is hang up and phone your bank. Or even better visit your bank which ia harder nowdays because they close so many.
@@Black.Sabbath It's only happened to me once or twice and the bank has confirmed it was indeed them both times when I called back. So some calls from the bank are genuine.
Always hang up, be it politely or not, and contact your bank (or whoever the scammers are claiming they’re calling on behalf of), thru a number that you know is legitimate.
Yes, scammers often spoof trustworthy numbers, this is a very notable fact, thanks for pointing this out. This is why it is much safer to hang up and call your bank back on the number on your debit/credit card. Your bank won't be annoyed, they will be pleased you're being scam savvy. They are very well aware of these scams and how we can't trust anyone. Yeah it might take more time, but a bit of time is much better than potentially losing £1000s. Most banks can now verify a transaction using the phone app, where they will ask you to input a code or use your fingerprint.
Watch Kitboga or Scammer payback! These channels on RU-vid have existed for years. If your unsure or think the accent is questionable; hang up and actually call the bank and ask. Usually your bank doesn’t call and ask for your details, they’re already on file. Of cause they’re nice on the phone; they want your money.
I was scammed aswell 😢😢😢😢It is a traumatic experience thank god not a lot of money. These scammers are genuine and make it look so real a naive person would never think twice. Learned a lesson from this horrible experience 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Hang on. If you're on the phone to "Natwest" and you see Natwest trying to call you, and the person tells you "do not pick it up" that should tell you to stop the call. imScott 🤓🤓
I'm not being insensitive, so please don't take me the wrong way. If he suffered such a significant spinal injury whilst on the set of a harry potter film, he will have received a massive settlement in compensation.
@@1pootle So that gives someone the right to scam it off him does it?. Doesn't matter if the victim is a millionaire or only has £10 in their account, crime is crime and victims deserve better.
shocked they dont just say the actual amount out loud as im sure the stars would band together to help him out watch this space , daniel just walks in with a giant cardboard check!
I didn't know a stuntman suffered such a dreadful injury during HP filming. I'll never be able to watch this movie again without feeling sad and frustrated. Such an unnecessary tragedy 🥺
I have banking on my phone i would always check there first and hang up go into thw bank in person. This exact same scam happened to my colleague. And shes had to put up with it for ages now them taking money.
Can’t believe this happened to David I watched his documentary a few months back what a amazing human hopefully there a go fund me or something to help him
If you even have the slightest bit of doubt whether it’s your bank which I’m sure it crossed his mind, hang up and call your bank number back up immediately and ask if it’s genuine? Claims he isn’t naive but come on?
It's only 'traceable' as far as some hash address is sending x amount to some other hash address. There's no actual name or details attached to the transaction. If you can follow the chain back to some known address for an exchange that performs KYC then yes you could request the customer data from the company. However many people who don't want to be traced will just buy and sell p2p.
@@hextree p2p, does that mean between 2 cold wallets? Then I guess as long as you don't ever use an exchange, or buy from store that needs kyc with the bitcoin payment you could never be traced, but you would just have to keep using p2p with other criminals kind of on the black market for favours, black market items, etc? Cause youd never be able to convert it into cash I guess using banks etc.
@@Trance9 yes, that's correct. Though p2p is pretty easy, and is safer than exchanges since you lose all your money if the exchange gets hacked. If you are in countries with a crypto community, you aren't necessarily trading with other 'criminals', it's just like selling on ebay or craiglist etc. Before exchanges were a thing, it used to be the only way people traded.
Banks do call customers. I used to work in the fraud department for a bank, and we'd call the customer whenever the system detected a strange transaction on their account to check it over with them.
Because it isn't true, banks in the UK DO call customers. I've been called many times, it is especially common when they want to check a recent transaction is genuine.
@@R.W.S. I always hang up and call the number on the back of my debit card if this happens. I had one a few weeks back saying I had taken out a credit card, which I had not. I hung up and called my bank, who advised it was a scam.
@@hextree Yeah maybe, but I still hang up and call the number on the back of my debit card if this happens. Yes it is more fuss and takes longer, but it is nothing compared to being scammed. Usually your bank will text you a code or you can use your fingerprint via the phone app if your phone has this facility for verifying a transaction.
@@beckscald3855 yeah, makes no sense. However it might be a RU-vid glitch, I've had it before where it puts a comment on the wrong video and maybe they didn't see it to deleate it 😅😂🤷♀️
