The caller spoke Russian, wouldn't use English, pretended to be police reporting suspicious activity at Lloyd's Bank – obviously a shady call, I hung up.

Expert Opinion
Caution is essential when receiving unsolicited calls from unfamiliar numbers, especially those involving urgent claims about financial matters. This report describes a caller speaking Russian who refused English, posing as police investigating suspicious activity at Lloyds Bank—a classic scam tactic to build false authority and extract information. Such impersonation is a red flag for fraudulent intent, often aiming to phish for personal details or prompt immediate action. Hang up immediately, as advised here, and never engage or share data. Report to Action Fraud promptly to help track these nuisances. Block the number via your phone settings to prevent repeats, and consider registering with the Telephone Preference Service for fewer cold calls overall.
