Expert Opinion

Picture this: you answer a call that claims to be from the Marks & Spencer fraud team, and the caller already knows part of your birthdate. That alone should set off a red flag. Before you share any personal data, hang up and verify the number on the official M&S website or on the back of your card. Use the official M&S security line (0345 602 1568) listed on the bank’s contact page, not the one the caller provides. Never give full passwords or security codes over the phone—legitimate banks only ask for limited verification and will never demand your complete PIN. If the call feels rushed or the accent is hard to understand, treat it as suspicious. Report confirmed scams to your card issuer and consider placing a temporary block on the card until the matter is cleared.

443456021568 Safe First Direct

Following several declined contactless transactions on my phone, I received a call from this number claiming to be from First Direct. After verifying my details, including my date of birth and postcode, the caller helped resolve the issue with my card. To confirm the call's legitimacy, I contacted First Direct directly. It appears that banks may outsource their call handling to a single company, which would explain why the number isn't specific to one institution.

443456021568 Scam First Direct Bank (claimed)

While this seems like a legitimate M&S BANK number, a woman with a strong Asian accent called, claiming to be from FIRST DIRECT BANK. She mentioned fraudulent activity on my First Direct card and immediately wanted me to answer security questions. I declined and asked for details about the card in question. She repeatedly referred to 'Your First Direct card' without specifics until I pressed her. Eventually, she provided the last four digits of a card I didn’t recognize. I hung up, and it turned out the card number was fabricated. Additionally, the number she called from wasn't associated with First Direct, and I don’t even have an M&S Bank account. This was clearly an attempt to access funds from my accounts. I'm glad I was cautious.
