Very convincing scam caller posing as Tide. Here’s how it worked for me: they’d already obtained my details illegally and made a small payment using them (in my case, Groupon, which I never use). That gives them credibility when they call to warn you about a “fraudulent” transaction to Groupon. They then claim a much larger payment is pending and tell you to open Tide and approve a “chargeback”. It isn’t a chargeback. They’re trying to get you to authorise the transfer. Key takeaway: Tide will never phone you to approve a payment. They only contact you via the app. If you’re ever unsure, hang up and call 159 (Stop Scams UK). They’ll connect you directly to Tide.
