AI Summary

Based on 2 community reports

This Aberfeldy number on the BT network has received reports of impersonation scams targeting bank and building society customers. Callers claim to be from Yorkshire Building Society, warning about suspicious payee additions and urging you to call back on this number. The tactic is designed to trick you into verifying fake account activity, which is a common method used by fraudsters. Notably, the initial calls appear to come from different numbers (including mobiles), with victims then directed to this landline—a red flag suggesting a coordinated scam operation. Neither your bank nor building society will pressure you to call back on an unfamiliar number about account concerns. If you receive such a call, hang up and contact your bank directly using the number on your card or their official website.

Said it was Yorkshire Building Society and that a new payée had been added (unknown to me) and if it was not me who added this name I had to call above number. I do not have an account with the Yorkshire Building Society . Also, the original call came from a mobile number 07523 725651.

Sources and safety guidance

Important limits

Caller ID can be spoofed, so a high risk rating means people have reported suspicious activity involving this displayed number. It does not prove that the registered owner of the number made the call or text. Community reports describe individual experiences and are not official confirmation of a scam. How caller ID spoofing works.

Own or manage this number? If this number belongs to you or your organisation, you can claim or dispute this profile. We review claims, check supporting information, and may update the page if reports appear to involve spoofing, mistaken identity, or outdated information. Claim or dispute this number

How this score was worked out

Each report rates the number as safe, unknown, suspicious or spam. The score combines those ratings, giving more weight to clear scams, and each person counts once. A number only reaches high risk once several people have independently reported it. Scores of 70% and above count as high risk, 40% to 69% as medium, and below 40% as low; a low-risk number reads Maybe Safe once someone reports it as safe. More about spam scores

Why this number is rated Medium Risk

This number is rated Medium Risk because community reports are mixed: 2 of 2 describe spam or suspicious activity, while 0 describe a legitimate or unknown call.

Ratings reflect screened community reports, not official records. How the spam score works.

Confidence: Medium

Based on 2 community reports. Confidence describes how much report evidence sits behind this page, and is separate from the spam score.

Caller ID can be spoofed, so reports may describe misuse of the displayed number rather than the registered number owner.
