Like a wolf in sheep's clothing, the call claiming to be from NatWest can appear perfectly legitimate, yet it often aims to harvest your personal data or one‑time password. If you receive an unsolicited verification code, pause and check the number against the official contact details printed on your card or bank statement. Never press digits or disclose account numbers to an unknown caller. Report suspicious calls to your bank’s fraud team and to Action Fraud, and consider using call‑blocking services or a phone app that flags spoofed numbers. Keeping a habit of verification protects both your finances and your peace of mind.
Obviously, scam calls are a hassle, didnt answer as no one has the landline number, infact i would have to check my diary to see what it is and its my bloody number, I dont understand why they are allowd to happen
I have confirmed with Nat West bank, situated below my radio station in Manchester, that this number is indeed a scam, contrary to some claims that it is genuine
During a payment attempt at Scan, a Natwest window prompted me to call a number to authenticate the transaction, which seemed suspicious
I rang Natwest and they told me this number is genuinly their fraud prevention number, so dont worry about it, just ring them and ask them yourself, thats what i did
Nat West genuinely used this number to call my mother yesterday, providing a one-time passcode for a legitimate transaction, but it's essential to exercise caution if you're not expecting a call from the bank, as the number could be spoofed.
The call guard didn't approve of this caller, so it's not considered a legitimate call
This is utter nonsense
The number 08001615173 is falsely claiming to be NatWest—utter nonsense.
A one-time passcode was requested, supposedly from a bank, but it was clearly a ruse.
Service was excellent
Requested sensitive account info
They asked for my card details, wich is suspisous
Part of an RBS phishing email scam
