Resumen — +448000155298
Opinión del experto
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.

Several calls arrived from this number; after checking, I suspected a scam as the automated voice mentioned my name. I later contacted RBS through other means and learned of dubious transactions on my account. When I asked the agent whether the calls were from RBS, he confirmed they likely were.
An automated call recognized my name and pretended to be from the RBS credit‑card fraud department, requesting my date of birth. I hung up; there are no current issues with my card or RBS.
A scam survey email claimed I’d won a Marriott Hotel prize and asked for a £2 postage fee; after the card payment failed I realised it was fraudulent and cancelled the card. Later, an 08000155298 call went to voicemail; the automated voice pretended to be RBS fraud team and asked me to call back on the same number, which isn’t the genuine RBS line. I should have scrutinised the email more carefully.
After receiving three calls, I checked this number and felt a bit wary. It turned out to be an automated RBS fraud alert about a small online purchase I made with my RBS credit card for a US film fundraiser on Big Pharma. The transaction appeared fraudulent and was blocked by my bank. Although these free‑dial numbers have been used by scammers in past years (2020‑2021), in 2023 this particular call was legitimate for me.
The caller pretended to be RBS and even used my dad’s card details. Avoid replying; instead, dial the official RBS number found via a web search.
Another automated RBS fraud call today, and they even dropped the name of the bloke who sold me the house two decades ago, mate.
A voicemail left at 8 am warned of RBS fraud detection, yet I don’t hold an RBS account – stay alert.
Someone claimed to be from RBS credit fraud, urging me to call back ASAP – the genuine RBS fraud line is totally different, so likely a scam, especially since they rang before 08:30, mate.
