Appears they were spoofing Starling Bank, claiming a fraudulent transaction and a locked card. I chatted live with Starling directly and they confirmed no contact, cheers.
Fake Bank Alert: Locked Card Scam?
Summary — +442080403117
Expert Opinion
Caution is essential with unsolicited calls claiming urgent banking issues, as they often mask sophisticated scams. This number appears to impersonate Starling Bank, alleging fraudulent transactions and card locks to extract personal details or prompt hasty actions. Genuine banks never demand sensitive information over unsolicited calls—always verify independently via official channels, like the app or known contact numbers. Hang up immediately on such approaches and report to Action Fraud. Enable two-factor authentication and monitor accounts closely for irregularities. Scammers prey on fear; staying vigilant disrupts their tactics.
