A call today pretended to be Vanquis Bank, claiming I owed a £10 minimum payment and requesting a debit card; I always settle my cards in full, so it was a scam.

Expert Opinion
Reports overwhelmingly flag calls from this number as fraudulent, with multiple accounts of scammers impersonating Vanquis Bank to extract payment details or personal info. Legitimate mentions exist, but they're outnumbered by warnings of bots, rapid hang-ups, and mismatched details like Amazon references. Patterns suggest a sophisticated phishing operation targeting credit card holders. Hang up immediately if contacted; never share card info over unsolicited calls. Verify directly via the official Vanquis app or number from their website. Block the number and report to Action Fraud to curb these nuisances. Stay vigilant—scams evolve quickly.

Scam
Utter rubbish.
A call today mentioned a company name, but it was spoken so fast I missed it – it happened twice. No personal greeting, so I took it as a scam. Past reports link the number to Vanquis, yet I've never dealt with them, making it feel very much like a fraud.
This line is for Vanquis missed payments.

Harassment Call
If you need to reach Vanquis, use the genuine number rather than the scammers' line.
The number repeatedly dials, claiming to be Vanquis Bank, but it's clearly junk.
The line is Vanquis, though it employs a rather harsh bot/AI voice system.
I missed a call, returned it assuming it was an estate agent I’d asked to be contacted, but an Indian woman identified herself as Vanquis staff. She recognised my name from my number and requested security details, which I refused. When I queried her department, she halted the conversation unless I supplied the info. The number differs from Vanquis’s official contact, and having experienced fraud on my Vanquis account previously, I remain highly wary.
A legitimate Vanquis credit‑card contact number.
After posting a negative Vanquis review, I instantly got a call from this number, which I missed. Reading other remarks suggests it could have been a genuine Vanquis call.

The number rang my mobile and later my landline; nobody answered, and the call dropped on both attempts.
The callers asserted they were from Vanquis, offering a name and details of a third party rather than myself.
The number 01730858252 rang both my landline and mobile. My dad picked up the landline; an English woman mentioned my name and a few personal details. She said I was unavailable and asked me to call back, claiming to be from Vanquis. To me it looks like a data breach, with scammers possessing Vanquis customer info, though the exact scam remains unclear.
It may be Vanquis Bank about missed payments, though references to Amazon raise doubts; I hung up quickly after confirming a payment via the app and would avoid sharing details.
It appears they adopt any identity they fancy – one day posing as Vanquis, the next as Amazon. Best stay away.
Beware – this is an Amazon Prime scam; avoid any interaction.
