If someone says on phone that you must share a payment secret number to save your account, what is the correct response?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Do not share it and verify through an official source
A payment PIN, one-time code, or similar secret should not be disclosed to an unexpected caller. Urgency and threats are common warning signs of fraud. End the call, do not use a number supplied by the caller, and contact the bank or service through its official app, website, or verified helpline. Sharing the code can permit unauthorised transactions.
