Expert Opinion

Oddly enough, a surprisingly high number of calls claim to be from well‑known UK banks, yet they turn out to be automated robocalls designed to harvest personal data. The pattern is consistent: callers request security answers, PINs or a one‑time code, often citing recent transactions that never happened. Never provide details over the phone unless you initiated the contact and have independently verified the number. Hang up immediately if the call feels urgent or threatening, and report the number to your bank’s fraud desk and the national complaint service. Consider registering for call‑blocking services and regularly review your account statements for unauthorised activity.
