2 yearsThey rang me and then just dropped the call.7 yearsTotal bank rip off.8 yearsTotally a scam, watch out!8 yearsSome bloke said he was from the Windows tech team and claimed my computer had issues - total scam, obviously.8 yearsA guy with an Asian accent called me saying there was something wrong with my computer. I knew it was a scam straight away, so I just messed about and kept him chatting for ages to burn his time!8 yearsClearly dodgy individuals. They disconnected as soon as I called them out on it.8 yearsGot a call from some Indian guy with terrible English, talking about windows scam stuff. Don't pick up, it's all dodgy fraud.8 yearsSomebody rang me pretending to be from Nationwide. When I asked why they were calling from a number that didn’t look like Nationwide’s, they just went quiet and then cut the call.Nationwide8 yearsI’ve been receiving calls from this number repeatedly, and each time I pick up, they just hang up! I've had enough, so I went ahead and blocked it.8 yearsGot a call from an Indian guy asking about bank details! Honestly, why dont they just find proper work instead of trying to con people? Sick of getting these kinds of calls all the time!8 yearsGot a call this morning (Bromsgrove) at around 11:07 am on 31/03/18. The guy on the line had a strong Indian accent and was hard to catch exactly what he was saying. He said he was from Nationwide Bank and mentioned my name, asking if it was me. I didn’t give a yes or no, just asked what the call was for. Then he rattled off my postcode, trying to get me to confirm again. I kept asking what his call was about, then he just ended the call. Pretty clear that was a dodgy scam attempt.BromsgroveNationwide Bank8 yearsSomeone rang me sayin they were from Lloyds bank and wanted my postcode. I just hung up straight away.Lloyds Bank8 yearsPicked up the phone then they just hung up, so I’ve blocked the number now.8 yearsLoads of scam calls out of nowhere. Best to just block them straight away.8 yearsGot a call to discuss my life insurance! I don’t have any and can’t get any right now due to health issues. The daft bloke just wouldn’t listen to me, so I ended up calling him a bloody waste of space!8 yearsThey didn’t say my full name, so it’s clear they probably got my info from somewhere else. A real bank would never call you using a nickname.8 yearsI just received a call from someone claiming to be Loyds bank. He immediately asked for my postcode. Once I told him I’m not a Loyds customer and refused to share any info, he ended the call. Totally a scam trying to fish for personal details! These idiots should be locked up, and I’m really curious how they even get hold of our info to start with.Lloyds Bank8 yearsJust like everyone else said, this number is definitely a scam.8 yearsReceived a call purporting to be from Lloyd’s Bank. They mentioned a postcode that wasn’t even close to mine and then proceeded to ask for the correct one. When I pointed out that Lloyd's should already have it on file, they promptly ended the call. Quite dodgy behaviour!Lloyd ’ s BankLloyd ' s8 yearsI received a rather peculiar call purporting to be from Lloyds TSB. The caller inquired whether I still banked with them or had switched over to Barclays or Halifax. When I informed her that I didn't have an account with Lloyds, she then asked for the name of my actual bank. I confronted her, pointing out that if she were genuinely from Lloyds, she ought to have been aware that I wasn’t a customer of theirs. She promptly disconnected the call-very suspicious behaviour, if you ask me!Lloyds TSBBarclaysHalifaxLloyds8 yearsThey phoned saying they were from Lloyds TSB and asked if I was still banking there or if I'd switched to Barclays or Halifax. When I said I wasn't with Lloyds anymore, they asked who my bank was now. I told them if they really worked for Lloyds, they’d already know I’m not a customer, then I just ended the call!Lloyds TSBBarclaysHalifaxLloyds8 yearsI picked up and the lady on the phone couldn't even say my name right. When she asked if she was speaking to whoever she thought it was, I said no, and then she just hung up on me! Proper rude.8 yearsGot a ring from this number, some muppet on the line going on for ages about my computer being full of viruses and offering to sort it out. Problem is, I only ever use iPads, no PC at all. When I challenged him on it, he just hung up straight away.8 yearsi get loads of calls from this number. they've said they're from natwest, lloyds bank and even windows tech support before. still keeps ringing even though i'm registered with the tps.Lloyds BankWindowsNatWest BankTelephone Preference Service8 yearsClassic bank fraud call!8 yearsGot a call from an Indian lady with pretty poor English, asking me to verify my name and postcode. When I probed where she was calling from, she claimed to be from Barclays bank. I asked why she was ringing since I’m not a Barclays customer, then she asked if I banked with HSBC, which I said no to. She then wanted to know who I bank with, but when I refused to answer, the call just dropped. Blocked her number straight away.Barclays BankHSBC8 yearsThey claimed to be from Lloyds, then changed it to Lloyds TSB when I asked. Since I actually work for Lloyds, I found it suspicious. They kept pushing, asking if I had made a claim. Definitely a scam call, don’t share any details with them.LloydsLloyds TSB8 yearsGot a call from this number on my phone today, but as usual with numbers I dont know, I didn’t answer. Later I looked it up here, and thanks to the info and the feedback from others, this one’s definitely going straight on my block list. Cheers for the help!8 years20116 298 3005? total nightmare, just chilling in silence!8 yearsin my opinion, total scam! got a call this morning from someone saying they were from windows support - obviously i dont trust them at all8 yearsdidnt pick up, imma block it8 yearsI got a call from this number on my cell, no clue where they found my number so I just ignored it. If what the other decent folks are saying is true, then I’m happy I didn’t pick up. Thanks for providing this service, much appreciated!8 yearsI received a rather cheeky phone call from a foreign chap who insisted I verify my address for those PPI forms. I flatly refused and requested my details be taken off their database. To add insult to injury, he had the audacity to ask for a kiss before we ended the call! Gave him a right reprimand for his cheek. It’s infuriating how these companies seem to pop up again even after blocking them!8 yearsGot a call on my mobile where they asked for my name and where I lived, also if I was still with Lloyds or switched banks. When I asked why they needed that info, they just hung up on me.Lloyds8 yearsThis number just rang me up - they asked for my name and old address, claimed to be from Lloyds Bank. I asked where they got my number, and they said from Lloyds Bank. I told them I've never had an account with Lloyds, so that can’t be right. Then they said it wasn’t Lloyds that gave the number, they just wanted to check it and find out which bank I use because they were doing a survey on the most popular bank. I asked again where they got my number since I'm on the TPS, and then the call just cut off.Lloyds BankLloyds8 yearsJust got a call from someone pretending to be Windows support, total scam, blocking their number now!Microsoft8 yearsReceived a call from this number earlier today. A woman with a foreign accent inquired whether I had an account with Barclays or Halifax. Naturally, I wanted to know the reason behind her question, to which she promptly hung up. Quite peculiar how she’s keen on asking questions yet apparently dislikes being questioned herself! Very odd indeed.BarclaysHalifax8 yearscalled me then just dropped the line cold.8 yearsReceived a call from someone claiming to be from Lloyds Bank. They had my postcode and full name, which was a bit unsettling. They were quite pushy, insisting I provide further details, and became quite rude when I inquired about the purpose of their call. I've since blocked the number.Lloyds Bank8 yearsNo clue who this is, never heard of the number before.Submit Your Own Report (0116 298 3005)
