What's happening
Almost every finance scam relies on pressure: a deadline, a threat to suspend your facility, a warning that you must act 'in the next hour'. The urgency exists to stop you thinking and checking. That pressure is itself the warning sign.
What to do
Whatever the message, pause. Verify through a channel you trust — type credicorp.co.uk yourself, or call the number on your statement. A genuine matter will still be there; a scam relies on you not looking. Report pressure tactics via reporting suspected fraud. See recognising official communications.
