throbber Posted February 8, 2018 Share Posted February 8, 2018 I'm amazed by the number of people who still want a pm about that post despite everyone else confirming it was fucking horrendous. Not sure why that amazes you, it’s basic psychology that people would want to know what was said when it’s been bigged up so much. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Netan Sansara Posted February 8, 2018 Share Posted February 8, 2018 The reaction to this has definitely made me curious despite the sensible part saying don’t ask so.....I’ll take a pm if it’s going about. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, it would possibly have been amazing if everyone was saying it was boring pish and people were then requesting pm's. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bairnardo Posted February 8, 2018 Share Posted February 8, 2018 Got a text from the bank today to call them about a payment request. Some c**t has tried to do me. Despite the text appearing in a thread of previous messages from the bank, I was a bit unnerved. Some of the questions the guy asked me also unnerved me. Then he knew everything about my bank accounts etc, and he unlocked my online banking which had been blocked as part of this. So why do I still feel nervy that I just fed him all my money? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In a bout of mega sensibleness I went and found a different number from the banks website, phoned it up and verified everything that went on in the previous call.

Amazing is probably the wrong word. Perhaps "Deeply disturbing " given I know what the original post was 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you phone the bank using the number from the online banking app or their website, and not any number that has been texted you - you should be fine. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fraud team (certainly at Bank Of Scotland) usually use Experian for security questions when they call in regards to fraud that can also block and unblock your Internet banking if they think it's unsafe. If you're concerned just call the number on the back of your card and they'll be able to tell you if it was a legitimate call. I'm in charge of bank security for Hamilton Accies so I know a few things about these situations. EDIT - You sorted it without an experts advice. Well done you.

Bairnardo Posted February 8, 2018 Share Posted February 8, 2018 See, that's why I always hack someone's Experian file first. Common mistake. Considering I have never personally used experian, its quite worrying how much information they must have about me which they have received from financial bodies. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had a similar thing last week but the bank sent me a text with a security number that I had to quote to them when I phoned. They sorted everything out very quickly, blocked the company from trying to get any more attempts at withdrawing money from my account and said that they will keep an eye on them in the future if they try the same thing again. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IainMorton Posted February 8, 2018 Share Posted February 8, 2018 TBH the bank being overprotective of your account can be a pain in the backside when trying to buy stuff you don’t usually buy. I remember I had to phone them up about a year ago cos I was buying something online that cost £150, and they said that was “irregular activity” on my account 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
