Lloyds Bank scam texts – what to do! - +44 808 145 0366 (0808 145 0366)

Several texts arrived from this number, appearing to be from Lloyds Bank and almost convincing. The message said I missed a credit‑card payment, but a quick account check showed the claim was false. The sender's number differs by only two digits from the genuine Lloyds number (ends 66 vs 99).

Unauthorized credit card activity reported

Disgusting individuals

A text message claiming to be from Lloyds Bank, asking me to call 08081450366, appears to be a phishing attempt

After experiencing identity fraud last year, I got a text from 0808 145 0366 asking me to click a link about my credit card. I blocked it and contacted Lloyd’s the next day. They confirmed it wasn’t from them and would never send such links.

Criminals frequently mimic legitimate banking phone numbers. Treat unsolicited calls cautiously. Disconnect first, then dial your bank’s official number (check your card) to verify. Urgent matters may require swift action.

This isn’t a legitimate Lloyds bank number; it’s scammers seeking the last three digits of your card for online purchases. Always contact Lloyds through their official number, not unfamiliar ones.

Received a letter with bank details supposedly from Lloyds, and this number is listed on it.

A letter dated 31 August arrived on 8 September, supposedly from ‘Lloyd’s Collections Centre’, sent to my registered address. The paper was unusually thin, raising suspicion. It claimed my credit card (correct number) was about £200 over limit – impossible as I can’t exceed the limit. I checked via the Lloyds app; no collections record existed. Comparing the phone number on the letter (identical to this thread) with Lloyds’ official number showed a single‑digit discrepancy. Clearly a scam that could easily deceive.

I received a letter on 8th Sept dated 31st Aug from ‘Lloyd’s Collections Centre’ sent to my registered postal address. The paper was thin, making me suspicious. It mentioned my credit card account (with the correct number) was over the limit by £200, which is impossible. I called Lloyds via the app, and they had no record of my account being in collections. The number on the letter (same as this thread) differed by one digit from the one Lloyds provided. Clearly a scam, and easy to fall for.
