Someone says move my money to keep it safe. Is it a scam?
Learn what to do if a caller asks you to move money to protect it.
A caller may claim your money is in danger and tell you to move it to a new safe account. This is a known scam pattern.
Do not transfer money based on that call. A claimed bank or government title is not proof.
End the call and contact your bank through a number on your card or its official app.
Try this
- Do not move any money because a caller told you to.
- Do not share your bank details, passwords, or codes.
- Hang up the phone. You can take your time.
- Call your bank using the number on your card.
- Ask a trusted family member or your bank before acting.
A message you can copy
Explain why an unexpected caller directing me to a new safe account is a warning sign. Use no real account details.
Paste the message into ChatGPT, then fill in any blanks before you send it. ChatGPT opens in a new tab. Opening it does not send the message.
Buddy says
Verify with your bank through a separate known route before acting on a claimed fraud problem.
