Hey @Davefife, thanks for taking the time to flag this with us 😊

Genuine banks would never contact you in this manner, and if you have even the slightest bit of doubt in the about a call like this the recommendation is always to hang up and call the number printed on your card.

To get this reported to our security team, can you please send the number to 7726?

Thanks for catching that @XRaySpeX, 7726 is still used for forwarding scam texts, but you're absolutely right that you can now report the call directly via the form in the link you've shared above.
