01242239508 Summary (Read all comments)

Phone number ☎️ 01242239508 👆 is reported as a persistent scam call impersonating a bank's fraud prevention department, warning of suspicious transactions to prompt recipients to press buttons or provide personal information. It frequently targets both landlines and mobiles, using realistic but fraudulent claims about unauthorised charges. Victims are advised not to engage with recording prompts or share details, as genuine banks do not operate this way. The calls originate from overseas criminal gangs using spoofed numbers, making blocking less effective. Authorities urge everyone to report each incident directly to official cybercrime and fraud platforms to help track and combat these scams. Sharing experiences publicly and using verified police reporting channels is crucial to protect the wider community from falling victim to such fraudulent schemes.

I just got a recorded message from the number 01242239508. It claimed to be from my bank's fraud prevention team, alerting me about two dubious transactions linked to my account-one to Amazon and another to a foreign bank. Whatever you do, don’t press 1 or 2! It’s clearly a scam, so I’d recommend blocking this number entirely!

It seemed like a total scam to me. They told me £1000 was going to be taken from my bank and that there was some dodgy activity. Then they asked me to press 1 to talk to someone. Seemed fishy right away.

Honestly, these calls claiming to be from my bank every single day are driving me mad. If they were legit, you'd expect to talk to an actual person, not some weird robot voice. Be careful though, it sounds like a nasty scam if you accidentally fall for it!

Got a call from an automatic number on my landline. They asked for my name and stupidly I gave them my surname. Definitely a scam, watch out and don’t fall for it!

Got a dodgy recorded call saying there were two payments on my card this morning - one £300 purchase on Amazon and another £1100 sent abroad. They claimed it was suspicious since I’d never used my card for those things before. The message told me to press 1 to confirm or 2 to talk to their support team. Felt like a total scam to me.
