Frequently asked questions
My bank password was actually reset without my doing it — what do I do?+
Call the number on the back of your bank card immediately. Do not click any link. Your bank's fraud team will guide you through recovery.
How would my real bank handle an unauthorized password reset?+
They would send an email with a secure link from their own domain, and often call you directly. They never send an 'undo' via SMS.
Is this the most dangerous banking scam type?+
It's among the most effective because it triggers immediate fear of account compromise — which ironically causes the actual compromise.
