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 unsolicited caller, even if the caller creates urgency or claims to be from a bank. End the call and contact the organization through its official app, website, or verified number. This avoids social-engineering fraud; sharing the number anywhere can enable unauthorized transactions.
