From 2024, but funny to read....

What makes this situation so ridiculous is that while we're all watching for scammers attempting to imitate legitimate organisations, FedEx is out there imitating scammers!

My banking app has a "is calling?" button, which is pretty neat. The button is highlighted whenever I open the banking app whilst on a phone call, presumably as a subtle anti-scammer warning.

My bank has the inverse as well. If i open the app while on a call there's a huge banner across the top stating they are not calling me.
