I am around 99.99% convinced that this is a scam, and I don't have any intention of calling the number back but I wanted to know if anyone got something similar because it will sooth the anxiety goblins in my brain lol.
So I got a phone call from this number 045-285-0960 today, didn't answer it, and they didn't leave a voice mail. I checked the number via the internet afterwards to see if it was a legit number but all I found was that it was a phone number one could call if you had been the victim of fraud or from some place called Japanese Bankers Association. Consultation and Contact information.
Now these were all numbers a person should call not numbers someone would typically call you from so I really just feel like it is a fraud/scam trying to scare someone into giving bank information away, and I should just continue to ignore it.
My ONLY hang up I have is that it was the number for if I had a problem with my own actual bank, other banks had different phone numbers attached to it. I assume it is still fraud, but I am always a little wary because the last thing I need is for them to freeze my bank account for whatever reason.
Thanks everyone
**EDIT**
Thank you for the helpful suggestions!! I ended up call my local bank branch where I opened the account. I gave them the number i had been getting calls from and they confirmed that it had been them (a main branch number or a customer service number or something along those lines) but the copy of my residence card I had sent them wasn't clear enough and that was what they were calling about…So I am going down to the local branch tomorrow to let them take the copy themselves.
Thanks again!
