Nedbank ****

For the 2nd time, I've received a call from 'Nedbank Card Division' from the number: ***. The lady told me there had been some unauthorised spending on my card for R80,000 and that she would assist me in blocking my cards immediately, if it wasn't me spending money on my card. For a while I played along with her, acting horrified at such unauthorised spending on my card. She then wanted to know if I could log into my device while she was on the phone, so that she could assist me in cancelling my cards. It was then that I mentioned that I don't have a Nedbank account and haven't had none for 15 years. I am not a Nedbank customer. She argued with me and when I asked her for my ID number, she had a very close number to my actual ID number and when I told it wasn't the correct number, she argued with me that it was in fact correct. I told her she was ****ming me and she said she was not and was calling from Nedbank. I dropped the call at that stage. Nedbank might want to look into this, as I tried calling their ***** line, but you just hang on for ages and they don't offer an online ****-reporting option. To anyone else reading this, beware of 'your' bank calling you with stories of unauthorised spending and requesting you to login to your account from your device, while they are on the phone with you
