Expert Opinion
Caution is essential with calls from this number, as experiences vary widely—some confirm legitimate RBS fraud alerts, while others flag potential scams impersonating the bank. Automated messages often mention suspicious transactions or personal details, prompting immediate action, but verifying independently is crucial to avoid risks. Always contact your bank directly using the official number from their website or app, never via the incoming call. If in doubt, hang up and report to Action Fraud. This dual nature confuses many; prioritise security by blocking unknowns and enabling two-factor authentication for accounts. Stay vigilant to protect your finances.
