01656721862 Summary (Read all comments)

Phone number ☎️ 01656721862 👆 is reported as a persistent scam involving automated calls claiming a £600 transaction has been made overseas on the recipient’s debit or credit card. The callers use urgent, prerecorded messages urging recipients to press numbers to verify or dispute the transaction, aiming to extract personal and banking details. Numerous reports highlight targeting of vulnerable individuals, including the elderly, causing distress. The calls often come from untraceable or spoofed numbers and do not identify a legitimate bank or organisation. Recipients are advised not to respond, press any buttons, or provide information. The consensus is to hang up immediately, block the number, and report such incidents to the bank and official authorities to help protect against fraud.

Got a call from 01656728106 earlier on. It was one of those automated messages saying there was a £600 purchase made abroad on my Amazon account and to ‘press 1’ if it wasn’t me. I knew straight away it was some kind of scam. I’m getting calls like this nearly every day from different numbers. Honestly, something needs to be done to put a stop to these.

This morning, I overheard a call with my elderly mother just in time to prevent any trouble. Thank goodness! The caller was insisting that a substantial payment had been deducted and proceeded to ask for sensitive information like card details, sort codes, and account numbers to supposedly help investigate the issue. I quickly intervened and urged her to hang up before they could manipulate her further and advised her to reach out to the bank directly. It's nothing but a scam, really!

Had a call around 11 this morning, sounded like a scam about £600 being spent abroad on my debit card. They told me to press certain keys, but I just ignored that and hung up. They claimed to be from some banking security team, but it felt highly suspicious. The number showed up as 01656721862 on my landline, but when I tried calling back, no one answered to explain who they were!

This morning I almost let them fool my elderly mum but managed to stop them just in time. They said there was a payment of £600 for some COVID thing, and then they asked for her bank details like card number and sort code to sort it out. I heard what they were after and told her to end the call right away and ring the bank instead. Such a blatant scam.

Got a dodgy recorded message about £600 being taken from my bank card, asking me to press some buttons - total nonsense. They don’t even say who’s calling. Do they seriously think we’re that gullible to fall for this rubbish? Stay alert. If it was legit from your bank, the call wouldn’t sound like that, just ignore it and maybe grab a cuppa instead.

Got a robotic call from a woman saying she’s from the "fraud team" - never mentioned which bank or card company though. She claimed there was a dodgy £600 transaction abroad on my debit card. I was told to press 1 to verify or 2 to speak with the "fraud investigation unit." Apparently, if I didn’t do either, my card would get blocked. Classic scam trying to freak you out and get your card info. Just ignore it and block the number.

Got a robo call saying someone had sent £600 overseas using my card. When I phoned them back, they didn’t specify which card was involved. They even got my first name wrong and just sat there waiting for me to tell them the right one. When I didn’t respond, they just ended the call.

I received an automated call regarding supposed fraud on my debit card for an amount of £600. When I tried to get in touch with them, they mispronounced my first name.

Received a call at half past one on July 21, 2020, regarding a dubious claim about one of my credit cards allegedly being used for a transfer of £600 abroad. Curiously, they didn't specify which credit card provider they were representing. The caller prompted me to press one or two based on whether I had initiated such a transaction. To my mind, this reeks of a scam, and I'm convinced their aim is to fish for personal details. I'll be looking into it, but I highly doubt that any such transaction has actually taken place.

Received a call at 11:14 this morning, claiming to be from Visa security regarding a debit transaction linked to China for something labelled COVID. It really rattled my poor mother, who's 90, to the point where she nearly shared her personal details. Fortunately, I was around to step in before anything could happen. Just to clarify, Visa doesn't typically reach out over the phone, and they definitely wouldn't hand over User IDs as that would expose sensitive information, which scammers could exploit. It's likely a dangerous caller using a spoofed number.

Got a recorded voice saying £600 was taken from my bank and sent abroad, telling me to get in touch with them right away to sort it out. Total scam! Definitely don’t trust it. I’ve already blocked the number now.

Someone rang me saying there was a £600.00 charge on my debit card from overseas. I didn’t hang about and just ended the call since it felt dodgy.
