3 yearsI’d say the safest bet is to ring Halifax directly using the phone number on the back of your bank card. Banks often have loads of different contact numbers precisely to outsmart scammers who fake their numbers. There’s a helpful comment about reporting scam calls and texts a bit further down, dated 02/07. While it might seem like a good idea to expose scammers, they can just as easily try to turn the tables on you.Halifax3 yearsI received a call from this number, and as soon as I picked up, the line went completely silent.3 yearsGot a call just a minute ago, thought it was a scam right away and quickly ended the call. Shortly after, I got a message claiming to be from Halifax. Turns out, someone had made a £995 purchase on my debit card at Ikea.HalifaxIkea3 yearsI encountered a rather dodgy character with a British twang who claimed to represent Lloyds Bank, ringing me up about some dubious transaction linked to IKEA.

Definitely don’t trust them if they call out of the blue like that.3 yearsGot a message claiming to be from Halifax saying my debit card was charged £995 at IKEA. Not sure if it's legit or a scam.Halifax3 yearsGot a text from some so called Halifax bank about my debit card being charged £995 at IKEA. They said if it wasnt me I should ring 01218276080 straight away. Sounds dodgy to me, anyone else had this?HalifaxIKEA3 yearsJust a heads up, this number is rubbish, definitely a scam. Better to block it right away.3 yearsSeems like a scam, they said they were calling from Halifax but I’m pretty sure it wasn’t legit.Halifax3 yearsGot a text from REVOLUT about a nearly £1000 spend at IKEA. Said call a number if I didn't do it. I tried ringing back, sounded legit but nobody picked up. Checked online and found loads of similar stories. Honestly, best to check these messages properly before you’re fully awake, it threw me off!REVOLUT3 yearsGot a text today claiming to be from Revolut saying my debit card was charged £995 at IKEA.

They asked me to text “yes” or call a 0121 number. Definitely a scam, so I ended up blocking the number straight away.Lloyds3 yearsThis number keeps ringing up and the person on the line says they’re from the Fraud Team at Lloyds Bank. They try to get you to hand over stuff you shouldn’t share under any circumstances. Then they ask if you’ve got accounts with other banks, and after that, someone else calls pretending to be from that other bank, trying to get even more info. I’ve already had calls from three different people acting like that.Fraud DepartmentLloyds Bank3 yearsThese chaps who claim to be from your bank are actually con artists from the UK. They’ll tell you a payment to Lloyds has gone through and then start fishing for your login info so they can get into your account. They’ll try saying there’s a purchase at Ikea, but that’s just rubbish. Best you avoid ringing them back altogether.LloydsIkea3 yearsGot a text from 07761 510168 saying it’s from Lloyd's. It claimed my debit card was charged £995.00 at IKEA and told me to reply yes if it was me or ring 01218276080 if not. I don’t even have an account with that bank, so I looked up both numbers and found the landline's linked to scammers. Would be great if the mobile number could be flagged too.Lloyd ' sIKEA3 yearsIt's a total con, masquerading as Lloyds Bank.
