Got a voicemail claiming my debit card was used to send £600 overseas on 30/10/2020. Pretty sure that’s not true.

Got a recorded call claiming it was Visa telling me they were charging my card a massive £1000,000. Didn’t bother listening to the whole thing since it was just a voicemail. I blocked the number straight away but they've called a couple more times after that.

Got two calls within just an hour and a half. Missed the first one 'cause I didn’t know the number. Picked up the second, but it was some automated voice warning me my Visa card would be charged £199 and to press 1 if I wanted to sort it out. I just hung up straight away. Definitely some kind of scam going on here.

Got a call warning my card was used fraudulently, but the line got cut off right before they finished the message. Sounds like one of those auto scams to me.

Got a call about £600 being taken from my debit card abroad, sounded like such a scam. They didn’t say where it happened, what bank it was, or who the account holder was. Definitely watch out for this one!

Just got a call warning me about some card fraud, but I’m certain it’s a scam. I actually got a call like this before, only it came from another number. Definitely don’t trust it!

This morning my mum got called twice, first time they mentioned £1,000, then £600 for a trip overseas. She’s not daft at all. If they ring again, the scam will be reported to the fraud department straight away.

Got a call from someone saying they were from BT, threatening to disconnect my internet if I didn’t sort out my bill. I told them to do their worst because I’m not even a BT customer.

Got a call from this number saying there was some fraud alert on my card. Funny thing is, I had nearly the same call around this time yesterday too, so I just blocked the number. Definitely sounds like a dodgy scam to me.

I avoided picking up this call, and after reading other comments here, looks like it was some sort of scam. Pretty relieved I didn’t bother answering it.

Got an automated call warning me about a £600 withdrawal from my card being sent overseas. Also noticed two £199 charges on a visa credit card that I don't even have, both from yesterday. Weird thing is, the number they're calling me from doesn't match the one my bank actually uses.

Beware of the international Visa card con! Whatever you do, avoid pressing 1!

BE CAREFUL - THEY'RE TRYING TO GET YOUR CARD INFO, SO JUST END THE CALL IMMEDIATELY AND DON’T LISTEN TO ANYTHING THEY SAY.

i keep getting calls from this number at all hours which is pretty annoying. when i finally picked up, i told the guy that whoever he was after doesn’t live here anymore. he said sorry and told me they’d remove my number so i shouldn't get any more calls from them.

Just a heads up, I came across a dodgy call about some Visca card scam. Watch out for it, seems like a total con!

Got a robocall about some dodgy £600 card charge overseas, told me to press 1 to verify or 2 to cancel. Felt like a total scam, probably just a trick to sneak in a premium rate charge.

Today, on the 29th of October 2020, I received a phone call from the number 44 1253 316844. The caller informed me of some dubious attempt that had been made regarding my credit card - apparently it was fraudulent. I've since taken the precaution of blocking that number.

I received one of those automated calls from various numbers, claiming that my debit card had been used overseas for a hefty £600. The prompt urged me to press 1 if I didn’t authorise the transaction. I didn’t engage with any options-I just hung up and promptly blocked the numbers.

I received a call from a robotic voice informing me about a supposed unauthorised debit card transaction of £600, claiming the funds had been transferred overseas. They wanted me to hit '1' if I didn’t recognise the transaction, obviously trying to pull a fast one. Recognising it as a scam, I promptly hung up and blocked the caller.

Received a call from this number earlier today. Since I didn’t recognise it, I chose not to answer. They didn’t leave a voicemail, so I attempted to return the call, only to be met with a recorded message stating that the voicemail box was full and unable to accept any further messages. Sounds decidedly dodgy, if you ask me!

I received yet another dodgy call purporting to be from the "fraud department" of my so-called "credit card provider," which remains annoyingly nameless. The voice on the line asked me to "press 1 to connect with an agent… and so on." Honestly, legitimate banks would never operate like this; they’d clearly state their name and address you personally. There’s an absolute deluge of scams floating around nowadays! They must surely have access to the details of the numbers they target. It’s baffling that no action is taken against this nonsense!

Could this possibly be a fraudulent operation?

I keep receiving calls from this number, and it’s becoming quite bothersome. They keep going on about some funds being taken out of my account.

I believe this phone number ought to be brought to the attention of Action Fraud at 0300 123 2040. It's important to take these matters seriously!

I got a recorded call about £199 being charged on my visa card without my permission, and it told me to press 1 to cancel my card. Definitely a scam.
