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.
