🛡️ Staying safe with unexpected calls

  • Never share passwords, PINs or one-time codes over the phone — your bank, HMRC, or any legitimate organisation will never ask for these.
  • Never send money based on a request from an unexpected caller, even if they claim to be from your bank or the police.
  • Hang up and call back using the official number from the organisation's website — not the number that called you and not a number they give you during the call.
  • Take your time — genuine callers will not pressure you to make immediate decisions or payments.
  • Report scam calls to Action Fraud on 0300 123 2040 or at actionfraud.police.uk, and to Ofcom by texting the number to 7726 (free).
