   Don’t be a victim of Vishing (Telephone Scam)
    
    Vishing is on the increase and is a type of scam
where fraudsters telephone you, posing as someone from your bank, 
building society or other organisation you trust.

They may ask 
you for information such as your memorable data or your card reader 
generated pass codes. They may tell you that you need to transfer money 
to another account to safeguard your money. 
    How to protect yourself
    
    	Don't give out your memorable data or card reader generated pass codes in response to any phone call.
Never transfer money to another account if told to do so over the phone.
Check the caller’s identity. Hang up and call back on
a different phone ringing the official number that you know and trust for that organisation or bank. It’s
 important that you do this as the fraudster can stay on the line once you hang 
up.
Be alert to any warning messages posted on our your Internet Bank or other organisations website 
 and make sure you read the conditions of the digital banking promise 
and Internet Banking t's & c's.
