Sympathies to Weiters. I had a narrow escape a couple of months ago but at the last minute I pulled the pin on the electronic dialog and went into the branch the next day. The staff there confirmed that the calls and texts were not from the bank. Just hope that all the branches are not closed down!
Reality always wins in the end.

I essentially no longer take calls from any organisation. I call them if I need to. As for texts and emails with links? Delete.

Yes, it was reported that unfortunately, the money is gone and he isn't getting it back.

Likewise. If I don't know the number then I don't answer it... if it's legit, they'll leave a message. The end. Same with text messages... unfamiliar - delete. The end.
