Explained: What Is The New Call Merging Scam And How To Stay Safe?
A new scam, the Call Merging Scam, is on the rise following the missed call fraud. Scammers call victims, claiming a friend shared their number, and persuade them to merge an incoming call. The second call is actually a bank's automated OTP verification. By merging, victims unknowingly reveal their OTPs, enabling scammers to complete unauthorised financial transactions.
