(212) 555-0182mobile0:41Do they say they’re family or a friend on a new or borrowed number?Did they call you, rather than you calling them?This looks like a scam.
Banks never ask you to move money to keep it safe.
Any call that ends in moving money needs a second check.
These are who scammers pretend to be.
You can’t verify who’s calling you.
What to do
1Say: “I’ll call you back,” and hang up. You don’t need to be polite to a scammer.
2Call back on a number you find yourself: the back of your card, the company’s website, or the number you have saved for them.
3If they claim to be family, ask for their HARD code.
