List exactly what you shared on the call or text

    Smishing scams compress in minutes — the attacker uses what you share immediately. The faster you list what got out, the faster the right account or card can be locked.

    Why writing it down helps

    When you call your bank or provider, they'll ask 'what exactly did you share?' Having a written list of every field is faster than reconstructing under stress.
