More and more scammers are using the telephone scam to take control of your PC/Laptop and empty your bank accounts.
As telephone numbers can be spoofed you get a call from the number that you think is your bank/building society but it is actually not it is the scammer.
My suggestion is that if you do receive a call of this nature hang up and call the number from a completely different phone and confirm if the call is genuine.
The scammers always say it is a matter of urgency. If they were genuine that fraud was taking place has been highlighted so another 15 minutes will not make any difference.

Always be sceptical of unsolicited calls.
