A new online advertisement from Barclays demonstrates just how easy it can be for a fraudster to call a customer and get them to divulge their security information.

I defy a customer of any bank to watch this video and not think twice the next time they receive a call from someone claiming to be a representative from their bank. However, there are times when it is very important that a bank can makes contact with a customer over the telephone, such as instances when a potential fraud has been flagged on their account.

This is an issue that Authlogics addresses in a video presented by CEO, Steven Hope. He offers a simple way for the contact centre agent and account holder to quickly prove to each other that they are who they say they are, and then get on with addressing the urgent issue at hand. What’s more, it reduces the need for call-backs when neither of them can verify each other, which places an unnecessary cost burden on contact centres.
