Claimed to be Lloyds bank
appeared on a text pretending to be from Lloyds alerting me to a suspicious payment. But on calling the genuine lloyds number, there was NO such suspicious payment on my account. They obviously want to you to call them and give them all your details. The text came from +212776462367. On the 020 number, a guy answers Lloyds! Beware.

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.

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 Medium Risk
