It was purportedly from Lloyds/Halifax Bank. I'd expect them to either leave a proper voicemail or at least call the number we were instructed to use, rather than defaulting to a mobile line.

Expertenmeinung
Beware of unsolicited calls claiming to be your bank – they often aim to harvest personal data. Even if the caller mentions Lloyds, Halifax or the Bank of Scotland, legitimate institutions will never ask for full passwords, PINs or DOB over the phone without a prior, verified appointment. Always verify the caller by hanging up and dialing the official number from your statement or the bank’s website. Keep a record of the call time and any numbers displayed, and report suspicious attempts to the FCA’s fraud line or your bank’s security team. Using these steps helps keep your information legitimate and secure.

Fraudsters often imitate genuine bank numbers to steal from customers. If you receive an unexpected contact from your bank, never trust it, but also never ignore it. End the call, ensure your line is clear, then call your bank using the number on your card or statement. Do not delay. Calls with an Indian accent are typically scams, as legitimate UK firms no longer use Indian call centres. People who suspect cold calls, especially those with an Indian accent, should report them as scams and block the numbers.
A call from the Private Banking Team of Bank of Scotland.
Are the callers from Scottish Widows Investment genuine?
A call came through, but when I answered there was nobody on the line. Some reviews here suggest it was Lloyds Bank. Yesterday I also got a call from 088 169 7762 claiming to be Lloyds Premier about my account. It seemed highly dubious—they knew I was a premier customer and the voicemail said they'd call back later, assuring nothing to worry about.
At 5:05 pm an Indian‑accented man claimed to be from Lloyds Bank. Given the mixed reports on this number and the typical bank policy of never calling, plus the strange drum‑like audio quality, it was clearly a foreign scam call. I told him to find a day job and hung up.
I received a legitimate call from a Complaints Case Manager at Birmingham Midshires. They followed up with a voicemail, a text, and an email, all of which I pursued and found to be above board.
After missing the call, I dialled Lloyds on their official line to confirm. They identified the number as spoofed and used by a fraudster pretending to be Lloyds, attempting to pilfer personal details. Always use the genuine Contact Us number.
I was unable to comprehend the woman because of a heavy accent; she requested security details and claimed to be from Scottish Widows Pension, urging me to send any information promptly.
They claimed to be Halifax Fraud on behalf of Lloyds, insisting the banks were now linked and that someone had attempted to open a Halifax account in my name. The caller pressed for some security details—not the full set—and, after I kept refusing, supplied a fake number for their fraud hotline.
A woman with an Asian accent asked for Mr Fence; it didn't feel like a call centre, so I ended the call.

It appears to be a legitimate number.
I was contacted by Lloyds who recognized I was on my landline and alerted me to a scammer trying to access my account. The fraudster used a withheld number and cited bogus direct debits from SMILE, THE CLEANING WAREHOUSE and IKEA, even knowing details about our business. Lloyds handled the situation superbly.
He claimed to represent Halifax home insurance, which I have, but I’m unsure after reading other comments.

Received an unsolicited call on my landline in Devon.
Upon contacting the number on the back of my Halifax card, I was informed by my bank that the repeated calls from an Indian man claiming to be from Lloyds Banking Group were indeed a scam, and I was advised not to return the call; the number has since been blocked.
I received multiple calls on 8th and 9th Oct from 08001697762, with different individuals claiming to be from Lloyds Bank, addressing me as Mr Pete and discussing a mortgage. Since I am not Mr Pete and do not bank with Lloyds, it was clear this was a scam. Despite knowing this, they persisted, calling five or six times before I finally answered and informed them of their mistake, at which point they immediately hung up
The caller claimed to be from Scottish Widows, I ended the call immediately.
I can assure you this number is legitimate, it's from the Bank of Scotland's customer complaints department, who were following up on an issue I had with my account
