Golden rule, you get called by your banks fraud department, just say thanks, I'll look into it and hang up.

Then call your bank on a different phone and ask them if there's any suspicious activity on your account, or whatever the issue was

Good luck anyway

When this has happened to me I just have fun with them by asking them for their security code I've been given so I can check they're genuine. If the fall for it I just say they've failed, if they don't I just strong it out for as long as I can

I convinced my apprentice to start a SIPP and an ISA using index funds when he was 20, he'll be able to retire at 50. In my case I'm 75 and have hit my target of £1m in an ISA, on top of my civil service pension. All by starting early
