Scammers Are Trick You Into Paying | Glasgow News

A silent but deadly scam is spreading: fraudsters are tricking victims into authorizing card payments—making it harder to get refunds than with bank transfers. With cold calls pretending to be from banks or police, scammers pressure you to approve payments using your own card details, often already stolen. Unlike unauthorized transactions, authorized ones leave victims stranded because protections like chargebacks don’t apply when you willingly approved the payment—even if deceived. Consumer group Which? and the Financial Ombudsman are sounding the alarm, urging banks to act and advising listeners: never send money over the phone, verify suspicious calls independently, and always contact your bank first if you’re a victim.
