What information do scammers need to access a bank account?
To bypass your account’s security, scammers attempt to gather sensitive personal information like your full name, address, and date of birth. They specifically target login credentials such as passwords and PINs, or the answers to security questions. Be wary of anyone asking for one-time passcodes or full card numbers, as these are major red flags for fraud. Protect yourself by never sharing these details over unsolicited calls, emails, or texts.
