The Scam Message
Caller: 'This is NatWest fraud department. We've detected fraudulent transactions on your account. To protect your money, please transfer your balance to our secure holding account while we investigate.'
Safe Account Request
No legitimate bank will ever ask you to move money to a 'safe account' — this is always fraud.

Scammers use spoofed numbers to appear as genuine NatWest calls.
Urgent Transfer Request
Any request to urgently transfer your own money is a major red flag.
