AI Summary
Based on 31 community reports
This is a confirmed banking scam number based in London with a dangerously high spam score. Reports describe callers and texts impersonating multiple UK banks—Halifax, Co-operative Bank, and Virgin Money—claiming suspicious transactions have occurred on your account. The scammers use urgency tactics, telling you to call this number immediately to verify large transfers (often £800+) or claiming funds are waiting to be cleared.
The consistent pattern across 31 reports shows this is a sophisticated operation targeting people's banking anxiety. Scammers may also claim you've been victims of fraud and pressure you to stay on the line, threatening that hanging up will prevent recovery of your money. This is completely false—legitimate banks will never contact you this way or demand you call a number they provide.
Do not call this number under any circumstances. If you receive a suspicious banking text or call, hang up and contact your actual bank using the number on your card or their official website. Report the scam to Action Fraud immediately.
