Got a recorded English‑female voice posing as bank security, saying there was a £120 charge for Edinburgh train tickets. They told me to press 1 to cancel, 2 for Customer Services, or the City Police. Same old scam, just tweaked the options. Blocked the number. Cheers.
Bank Scam Alert: Fake £120 Charge?
Summary — +447983177693
Expert Opinion
Be wary of unsolicited calls like this one, as they often mask sophisticated scams designed to extract personal details. The recorded message mimicking a bank security alert about a £120 Edinburgh train ticket charge is a classic ploy to create urgency, prompting you to press buttons or connect to fraudsters. Adding 'City Police' is a new twist to heighten fear and legitimacy. Block the number immediately and report it to Action Fraud. Never press options or share information—hang up and contact your bank directly using a verified number. These tactics prey on trust; staying vigilant prevents fallout from identity theft or financial loss.
