"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."
