Expert Opinion
Like a double‑edged sword, the call from +44 3456 015450 can be both a genuine security check and a tempting lure for fraudsters. Many users report it as a secure verification from Halifax or Bank of Scotland, yet a sizable minority label it a scam demanding four‑digit codes. When the call arrives unexpectedly, hang up and initiate contact through the bank’s official website or app – never disclose the code to the caller. Treat any request for personal details as suspicious, especially if it comes at odd hours. Keep a record of the call and report dubious activity to your bank’s fraud team.

Betrug, weil ich kein Halifax‑Konto habe und der Anrufer vorgab, eine andere Bank zu sein. Ich bezweifle die Vertrauenswürdigkeit solcher Anrufe; meine eigene Bank würde nie so kontaktieren.
Given that I do not have a Halifax account, it is evident that this is a scam, particularly as they claimed to represent another bank on a previous occasion; my genuine bank would never initiate contact in such a manner.

Someone contacted me regarding BACS payment authorization, I'm not sure what to make of it.
Receiving three calls in quick succession at 11:30 pm was alarming, necessitating the blocking of the number to halt the calls. Although many have associated this number with Halifax online banking, we have no connection to Halifax, and thus, caution is advised.
