The scammers claimed that her debit card needed to be collected due to suspected fraud cases.
The woman, who wished to remain anonymous, confided in a family member about the incident. Recognising the suspicious nature of the call, she did not let herself be pressured into anything over the phone. Instead, she ended the call and contacted her bank using the known number.
