2 yearsGot a robot voice call claiming to be from “Bank Security” warning me about two big spends on my card earlier today. Didn’t mention which bank or exactly which card. Then asked me to press 2 to talk to someone. Honestly, these scammers are beyond lazy now. It’s such a tired trick and they must think we’re daft to fall for it.Bank Security3 yearsI received a notification regarding potential fraudulent transactions linked to my Amazon account!Amazon3 yearsReceived a call earlier today; it was a recorded message from my bank regarding some potentially dodgy payments to Amason and an overseas money transfer. They prompted me to press one or two for more details.Amason3 yearsOn 9th November 2023, I got a call from 01242521531 around 09:45 morning, using that classic bank fraud trick, saying there were suspicious payments on my account and asking me to press 1 to find out more. The giveaway, as usual, was they didn’t bother to ask who was on the line or say which bank they were from. I mean, a robotic message isn’t really right for these serious issues like this. Also, later the same day, at about 12:35, a different number popped up, 01254825981, doing the same scam - I’ll be filing a report about that one too.3 yearsI chose not to pick up since this number has rung me a few times already and I had a feeling it was some sort of scam!3 yearsI've noticed this number bears a striking resemblance to several other calls we've had from the 01242 area over the past few months. It seems likely that this is yet another attempt by the company to shuffle their digits in order to dodge getting blocked.3 yearsTotal scam, don't waste your time!3 yearsSomeone pretending to be from 'Vodafone Samsung' called me.Samsung VodafoneSubmit Your Own Report (01242 521531)
