Urgency is a warning

Treat unexpected warnings demanding an immediate call as untrusted.

Verify independently

Start from the vendor's official website instead of the number shown by a pop-up.

Protect sensitive information

Never share passwords, one-time codes, recovery codes or full card details with unsolicited callers.

If compromised

Change passwords through official sites and contact your bank if payment information was exposed.
