Calls from this number are being described as debt recovery attempts by several users. Narratives online flag the number as a line linked to The Zinc Group, with repeated, often automated, attempts to extract personal or payment details, frequently citing NatWest or other banks. The pattern suggests persistent, harassing tactics typical of a debt collector rather than an official bank. If you receive such a call, hang up immediately and verify any claim by contacting the original creditor directly using official contact details. Do not share banking information or passwords. Register the number with your provider's spam‑blocking service and report the incident to Action Fraud. Keeping records of timestamps can aid any future investigation.
This guy calle me 4 times todai and was very anoyingg
Recently, two texts were received from 'Zinc Group' requesting a callback to this number regarding an alleged debt passed on from NatWest Bank, which appears highly suspicious as no such debt is known.
Legit company call regarding my order. Helpful and straightforward, sorted everything out quickly. Good service.
I've had several calls from this number lately. Every time I answer, they disconnect.
This is a legitimate debt collection agency located in Stratford upon Avon, Warwickshire, known as The Zinc Group. They contact individuals only if there’s an outstanding debt. The number is a standard landline, so calls should be covered under your usual phone plan.
Upon reading the comments, it's clear that the Zinc Group are debt collectors who buy outstanding debts at a fraction of the cost, then harrass debtors to pay the full amount, however debts can become unenforcable after 6 years unless payments have been made
Daily, I am being bombarded with numerous calls from this and various other numbers, requesting to speak to ‘you only’. They seem unaware of my name when I inquire. One message indicated they were Zinc Management on behalf of NatWest. The calls originate from London numbers, Stratford Upon Avon, and Wales. I felt the caller was attempting to extract as much information from me as possible since he lacked any specifics.
Given the staggering number of complaints, over 26,000, it's astonishing that no authority has stepped in to investigate and shut down this company, which seems to be operating with impunity.
This is a scammer, please dont answer they will keep calling from different numbers, they use natwest atm as a reason dont give them any information.

Bloodsuckers
This individual's attempt to extract personal details was utterly bogus, lacking any legitimate reason. It's clearly a scam, and I've reported the incident to Action Fraud in the UK. Such fraudulent activities warrant severe punishment, as they prey on vulnerable individuals. Let's prioritize caution and protect one another.
It's essential to be cautious when dealing with debt collectors; if you owe money, make sure to pay the rightful creditor, and if you're struggling, consider seeking advice from your local Citizens Advice office, as they can provide guidance on managing debt and avoiding scams.

The number 01789405050 is a right nuisance, they just wont give up
An automated message claimed to be from Nat West asking for a payment. Clearly a scam.
It has been confirmed that this number belongs to Zinc credit management, a company to which many financial institutions outsource their debt collection, and despite my regular loan repayments, I was transferred to them without prior notice, highlighting the need for caution and verification
It's advisable not to answer, as this is an automated call attempting to obtain personal details.
Zinc Group, allegedly 'on behalf of the NatWest group', called in a phishing attempt, asking me to answer 'security questions'.
An automated female voice from the number 01789 405050, claiming to represent West Grove, left a message on my answerphone, requesting a return call to settle a supposed payment
Repeated calls despite email preference
Definite scam!

The call was automated and provided a different callback number, which raises significant suspicions about its legitimacy.
