No answer at all so I’m assuming it’s just a spam call. I’m on the TPS list so really shouldn’t be receiving these calls in the first place.

I've received a call from the telephone number mentioned above, which is based in Chester. It was a recorded message with a woman’s voice claiming to be from the security team of Visa and Mastercard. She stated she needed to verify a £900 transaction to Western Union that I supposedly authorised from my account. Please take caution; this is a scam! Don’t engage with them, as they’re likely trying to obtain your banking information to empty your account. It seems this con artist group is utilising a range of different numbers provided by BT, frequently changing their calling number to make the ruse harder to trace. Stay alert!

I received a rather suspicious call claiming to be from Visa Security. The automated voice went on about potential fraudulent transactions linked to my card.

Got a call a few days back from an automated voice claiming to be Visa, and then today, got another one but the number was different, though the voice was pretty much the same. Seems dodgy to me.

Got a robo call earlier claiming it was about my Amex or visa or something. Sounded dodgy to me.
