Lloyds fraud call – is it legit or a scam? - +44 333 045 9502 (0333 045 9502)

Several texts warned that my Lloyds card had been used fraudulently, followed by calls from this number, which I eventually blocked – a clear case of card fraud.

A fraudster stole my card details and placed multiple online orders. After the bank blocked further transactions, I received texts from both the bank and this number, both pretending to be the bank. They kept trying to reach me even after I reported the fraud via the app and hotline. It felt alarming because the messages appeared genuine.

Someone claimed to be from Lloyds Bank’s fraud team, insisting my card had been used – it wasn’t, so I blocked the number.

The call was flagged as a potential scam on my phone, followed by a message claiming fraudulent use of my credit card. I phoned Lloyd's fraud from a trusted number; they confirmed no unauthorised use except one blocked transaction that wasn’t mine and advised to ignore such calls.

That’s a scam, mate.

The call and subsequent text claiming to be Lloyds Fraud Prevention were fake. After spotting the scam, I contacted Lloyds directly. It was not them – avoid replying or calling back and block both numbers.

I got a voicemail from someone pretending to be Lloyds’ fraud prevention team, plus a text from another number. They kept ringing even after I’d spoken to the real fraud team at my bank. Stay vigilant, yeah?

Someone pitched me a better internet deal, pretending to be from Openreach (part of BT). I went with it, then realised it was a con – they won’t process my cancellation and claim I need to call customer service, yet they give a non‑existent number. Proper hassle, right?

The call turned out to be a sophisticated scam: first a text pretending to be from Lloyd’s Bank about an Amazon purchase, listing the last four card digits; when ignored, a follow‑up call claimed to be from the bank’s fraud team. Best to let it go to voicemail and block it – grateful for the warnings on Who‑Called.

Watch out – a credit‑card fraud call claiming to be from the bank is actually bogus.

Honestly, this number feels like a solid scam – the phrasing and the account verification just don't add up. Best to double‑check the number directly with your bank via their website or official letters, mate.

So, on 11 January 2025 the caller started chatting about my card transactions before the line dropped. I rang my bank and discovered several online purchases I never made – turns out my card had gone missing that morning. Someone must've found it and tried to spend it, but I’ve cancelled the card now, cheers.

It appears to be a scam, paired with SMS alerts that threaten to cancel your credit card to create urgency.

Experienced numerous calls from this number, eventully blocked it due to suspecious activty, beleive it to be a credit card fraud scam

An automated message regarding alleged Lloyd's credit card fraud prompted immediate blocking of the number and a freeze on online payments.

This number is falsely representing itself as Lloyds Bank's fraud department

Very persuasive - they pretended to be an automated fraud prevention service from Lloyds Bank, but I ended the call as soon as the female voice requested my date of birth.
