I got scammed at the end of last week. All sorted and no harm done, but the scammer told me that the normal security checks such as mother's maiden name etc was no longer being used, and everything was being done via the Pinsentry system. After resistance from me I eventually went along with it and gave him all he asked for! :-(
As I said, no harm done because I immediately contacted my bank who blocked everything, but be aware that the scammers are now trying to use the Pinsentry system to get account details etc from people who are unfamiliar with Pinsentry.
Different banks may have different names for the system. It's basically a card reader that can confirm a person's identity. It's a pity the banks don't have a similar system for confirming who they are, so that the private individual can check they're not talking to a scammer.
