ANZ is warning customers about a troubling rise in “scam-coaching” – a tactic where criminals train victims to bypass bank security by providing scripts, cover stories and instructions on how to respond to bank staff. Unlike traditional scams, scam-coaching often involves long-term manipulation, with offenders building trust over days or weeks before encouraging victims to lie, ignore warnings or hide the true purpose of a transaction. As ANZ Scams Lead Ben Verhoef, CFE, CAMS warns: "If someone is telling you not to be honest with your bank or instructing you on what to say, that's a major warning sign that you're dealing with a scammer." ANZ urges customers to stay alert, and to pause and cease contact immediately if anyone instructs them on what to say – or not say – to their bank when questioned about a transaction. Customers who feel unsure or pressured are encouraged to contact ANZ immediately. https://lnkd.in/g37sTwHQ
