Fraudulent HMRC debt alert
Visa scam 443338807872 ☎ +443338807872
Summary — +443338807872
Expert Opinion
It appears that the caller, allegedly from a fraud recovery service connected to a well-known bank, such as RBS, has been making calls to obtain sensitive information from individuals, including bank details and financial information. The caller's approach seems genuine at first, but raises suspicions due to the number of questions asked and the request for personal details. Users have reported that the caller claims to be investigating unauthorised transactions, but may actually be attempting a phishing attack to gather information for malicious purposes. In light of these findings, it is essential to exercise extreme caution when receiving unexpected calls, and never to disclose sensitive information to cold callers. Instead, individuals should verify the authenticity of the call by contacting their bank directly using the number on their bank card or account details, and report any suspected scam attempts to the authorities, such as the police or by texting 7726.

SMS from this number posing as HMRC pursuing a debt. I deleted and blocked it
Chap rang early claiming to be from First Direct's visa team, saying a weird £900 charge was pending. I said it wasn't mine, they probed about my accounts and balances, and daftly I shared that, though no security stuff was mentioned. They said they'd stopped it but would call back to verify. Phoned my bank who confirmed it's a scam and ignore any follow-up. First call was hidden, but the callback came from 03338 807872.
Pretended Halifax fraud team but probed with banned queries like the three-digit code on card back.

It's wise to verify any unexpected communication from your bank by calling them directly using the number on your bank card or account. Always approach unsolicited contact from your bank with caution and never provide information to cold callers. For RBS, confirm the number on your debit card and research it on this site! It's concerning! Calls from this number could potentially be a phishing attempt, so check with your bank if you've shared any details. Scammers may be fishing for information to sell to others, so be vigilant. Report any scam attempts to the police system. Text call details to 7726 and follow the instructions given in the response.

Scam
A caller with a convincing Scottish accent claimed to be from an RBS fraud recovery service. They mentioned a purchase I hadn't made and asked numerous financial questions about me and my husband. They didn't request banking details but wanted the helpline number from my debit card. They claimed to have stopped a transaction, but I'm unsure if it was genuine or a scam.
