Lloyds data shows fraudsters stole 10% more year-on-year and the average loss rose to £3,516, while banks advise customers to ignore text numbers, contact their bank using trusted numbers and use in-app verification tools. Consumers are urged to hang up suspicious calls, call back on a verified number and check bank security features before transferring money or handing over cards. » Altro su theguardian.com
