Phone calls (Vishing)

You might get a phone call that appears to be from a reputable organisation asking for personal information like usernames, passwords or PINs, which could allow criminals to access your accounts.

How to protect yourself

A legitimate company will never ask you for your PIN, online username or full password. Even if you recognise the number that’s calling, be careful, because it could be fake.
