Phone number ☎️ 01612052253 👆 is reported as a nuisance scam where callers pretending to be from "Bank Security" warn about fake suspicious payments to Amazon or overseas transfers. The calls often use a pre-recorded female voice and appear on genuine BT lines but with busy signals or no option to speak to a real person. Many users find the calls suspicious as no message is left, and those with call blockers can avoid them easily. The number is frequently blocked by recipients after repeated attempts, and no actual transactions correspond to the alerts given. This scam is persistent and frustrating for many, as it impersonates bank warnings to try and steal personal or banking info.

3 yearsGood attempt, but not quite! They were fishing for my bank details, masquerading as representatives from "Bank Safety." They claimed there was a £300 transaction to Amazon that I didn't authorise and mentioned some dodgy activity on my account as well.Bank SafetyAmazon3 yearsGot a missed call from this number yesterday, but thankfully my BT Call Blocker stopped it from ringing since it wasn’t saved in my contacts. The caller never identified themselves, which made me suspicious, and they didn’t leave any voicemail either. After seeing some of the other reviews here, I decided to just block the number altogether. Feels like a dodgy call to me.3 yearsGot another call from someone claiming to be from bank security with the identical recorded message as I got yesterday. Seems like the same exact recording that someone else mentioned here too.3 yearsGot a call from a recorded female voice claiming to be 'Bank Security' warning me about some dodgy payments - £300 spent on Amazon and £1000 sent abroad. As soon as I caught on, I just hung up. Turns out none of those payments had actually happened. The number showed up as a proper BT line but every time I tried calling back, it was always busy. It's baffling why these annoying prank calls can't be cracked down on!Bank SecurityAmazonSubmit Your Own Report (0161 205 2253)
