Impersonation Scam
I Have received a call today 29 May as well as on 21 May from people claiming to be from standard chartered regarding my credit card. They refused to tell me what the call is about it but wanted to proceed to do a “verification” if i had giro or if i had supplementary card. I declined to answer but they kept pressing me for an answer. Beware of such scams.

Banks do not make such unsolicited phone calls asking for such details.

I also called standard chartered bank and there was nothing wrong with my account.
