Scammed on the phone by a fake call from the bank

An accounts administrator gives security details over the phone when a fraudster uses a spoofing app to make him think its his bank calling. Always phone your bank back to verify the identity of callers.
Anyone can be taken in by a scam, so don’t feel embarrassed or ashamed if it happens to you.
If you think you’ve been scammed, or you’ve spotted a scam contact: Action Fraud www.actionfraud... telephone: [phone] or report it online: www.actionfraud... and get help.

I had someone try this with me today. And it almost worked. They were trying to do a password reset on the account and asking me for the "code that they sent". The big downfall was the text message says "we will never ask you for this number over the phone".
So I ask the guy "So you're from the bank? What is my current balance?" He says that their department doesn't have access to that information. So I say, "Well you know about my transactions so what are some of the last transactions that I've done". The guy disconnects the call.
The scary thing is the caller ID had the bank's phone number.

I have also heard that if you DO call back, they are hanging on so you THINK you have called the right number but you are still on with the scammer

I almost got tricked

I wish my Bank of America phone call was fake. I had to call the regular customer service two or three times separately to verify the phone number. Of course it turns out that it's legitimate phone from the fraud wire department. Could be a compliance officer. It was about a wire that I initiated. Anyway I'm in the middle of this right now.

This just happened to me. I'm not a trusting person so disconnected the call then phoned my bank who told me that they hadn't called.
