The scammers are definitely getting more sophisticated so try to cover yourself as best you can - 2 factor authentication via an App is crucial for me - I will not use SMS only.
I've had a call from 'Lloyds Bank' that said we need to be sure it is you - I said, "You rang me so I will be verifying YOU not the other way around I will call my bank on the number they supplied on their website to confirm Lloyds Bank is trying to contact me." Click - dead line.
Lloyds (same group as Halifax) use the same mechanism to check it is you with a confirmation text - I think Nat West use their App to confirm on your phone.
