Real bank employees never call their customers to report problems with their bank account, only scammers do it. Remember: whoever calls you, whoever he introduces himself to, no matter what troubles he threatens, in no case do you fulfill the requirements that are associated with your money! Do not transfer money to other bank accounts, do not install mobile applications on your smartphone, do not provide received SMS passwords, codes and information about your bank card.600
