A fraudster steals victim's banking information

A fraudster steals victim's banking information.

When we found out that our wallet, purse or important stuff were missing or stolen, most of the time we go on panic and talk to other people what happened. We should always keep in mind that some of this people might be one of the fraudsters who just want stay in the scene just to get some important information from us. So beware, if this happens to you just call the police to file a police report and call your banks immediately. Remember what mama keeps on telling you when you are younger...don't talk to strangers.

I have work for two international bank and as part of the verification of the customer they doesn't ask you to verify your ATM or Credit Card PIN over the phone except for phonebanking code or password which is totally different from an ATM/Credit Card PIN. The PIN is being generated automatically by the system and no one knows your PIN except you, even your issuing bank doesn't know the PIN that was given to you. If you forgot your PIN, the only way will be to call customer service and have them submit a request for a system generated PIN. Again, you should not be giving your PIN to anyone even to the "customer service" of your bank.

Another thing, you should always have a copy of phone numbers of your bank just to make sure that you are calling the correct customer service number.
