AI Summary
Based on 2 community reports
Calls from this London number, registered to TAP GATEWAY, claim to be from Lloyds Bank and ask you to call back following a text message. Once you call, the scammers request personal information and try to move you to WhatsApp—a major red flag. This is a phishing scam impersonating your bank. Lloyds will never ask for personal details over the phone or push you to messaging apps like WhatsApp. If you receive a similar text, ignore it and contact Lloyds directly using the number on your card or their official website instead.

Safety score
2 reportsHow 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 High Risk
This number is rated High Risk because 2 of 2 reports classify it as spam or suspicious. No reports identify the number as safe or expected.
Ratings reflect screened community reports, not official records. How the spam score works.
Confidence: Medium
