I got a call claiming to be from the John Lewis fraud department asking if I'd made any recent purchases.

I had a pretty similar thing happen. Someone said there was fraud on my John Lewis account, so I replied, and right after, that number rang me almost straight away. I've seen some folks say it’s legit, but I tried getting in touch with John Lewis myself and couldn’t get any proper confirmation from them.

I phoned up and double checked, turns out it really was John Lewis.

I got a voicemail from someone saying they were John Lewis, asking me to call them about a supposed issue with a payment on my card. I checked my card and found no problems at all. When I rang John Lewis on a different phone number, they confirmed that the call from 01708 973271 was legit and that there was indeed an issue, so they’d blocked my card until I got in touch. It’s really tough to handle this kind of thing when fraudsters are using real company numbers to trick people.

Got a call I didn’t answer earlier today from Romford, number 01708973271. I’ll be notifying JLP once more about it.

Today, I’ve been getting the same rubbish scam messages through both voicemail and emails. It’s really unsettling. I’ve already told JLP about it.

Got another ring from 01708973271 today at 5:12pm, which makes it the fourth time they’ve called me after earlier ones at 11:24, 11:30 (when they even left a couple of voicemails) and 1:21pm. I’ve just double-checked my JLP account and nothing odd is showing up. Like others here, I find these relentless calls and texts really annoying. I’m not replying to the person behind all this pestering and will contact JLP myself to sort it out.

Got a call saying it was John Lewis warning me about some fraud on my credit card. Had a look into it and it wasn’t them at all. Don’t trust this kind of call, it’s just a scam.
