I just dodged a phone scam.
A private phone number call to my mobile pretending to be Tesco Bank about my mastercard.
The guy knew I lived in Suffolk & had my email. He said they had blocked two strange transactions to TUI for each over £1k so my card was now cancelled.
He didn't take me through any security which did make me wonder. He then asked if we had a text from Tesco & I did . I could for one of the transaction type Y for yes thus agreeing it was valid or N for no. He urged me to send Y as otherwise my Barclays account & the new card would be blocked for 28 days. Luckily he would then file a report for us so that no money was taken.
He got most insistent but I hung up and called Tesco on another phone who told me it was a scam.
