02070971494 Summary (Read all comments)
Phone number ☎️ 02070971494 👆 is reported as a persistent and sophisticated phone scam targeting vulnerable and elderly individuals across the UK. Callers impersonate bank fraud departments from major institutions like Barclays, Lloyds, NatWest, HSBC, Santander, and First Direct, warning of alleged unauthorised transactions or fraudulent activity on accounts. They pressure recipients into calling back a specific number, where they attempt to obtain personal or banking details, often requesting urgent money transfers under false pretences of safeguarding funds. Many victims receive automated threats concerning HMRC or National Insurance issues. Banks confirm these calls are fraudulent and advise not to engage or provide information. Users are strongly urged not to respond or call the number back and to report any suspicious contact to their bank’s official fraud team immediately.

2 yearsTotal rip-off!3 yearsGot an email asking me to pay money in advance for a loan I applied for, which seems a bit dodgy to me.6 yearsGot a robocall saying HMRC was about to arrest me. This kind of stuff really needs to be put to an end.HMRC6 yearsI missed most of the call but it left a robotic voicemail warning me that if I didn’t take action right away, I’d have issues with my National Insurance number.National Insurance6 yearsMy elderly mum, who’s 80, got a phone call from someone saying they were with Barclays’ fraud team. They told her someone was attempting to break into her bank account.Barclays ' Fraud Prevention6 yearsGot a call from someone fishy asking for my bank info. Definitely a scammer.6 yearsMy elderly mum got a call from someone saying they were Lloyds’ Anti Fraud team, but it was all lies. When she asked for proof, they suddenly switched and said they were from a pizza delivery place. Totally dodgy!Anti FraudLloyds6 yearsMy elderly dad, who has Alzheimer's, got a call today from 01326015164. The person on the phone claimed he owed some money and told him to ring back on 02070971494. It was really upsetting to hear.6 yearsI had a similar experience, asked them for a UK number and they gave me 02070971494. When I started questioning them, they just hung up. The story was all about a £300 refund. Weirdly, all they knew about me was my name and postcode.UK6 yearsI got a call saying there was an attempt to move £4000 out of my account. They reckoned someone at our local bank branch was behind it, and then they asked me to send money to a different account to help trap the "thief" - which I'm pretty sure was just them trying to scam me.6 yearsScam alert: got a call saying there was a suspicious purchase made with my Visa debit from China. They told me I could stop the transaction if I rang this number, but I reckon they just wanted to get my bank info. Definitely dodgy.Scam AlertChina6 yearsGot a call earlier claiming to be from NatWest visa fraud team saying £300 had been sent to someone in China and they wanted to put the money back into my account. The missus didn’t quite get it at first and handed me the phone. I’ve gotta say, the scammer was pretty convincing, I almost fell for it! But luckily I could spot the nonsense straight away. I’ve reported it to my bank’s fraud department, so all sorted now. The number was 02070971494 - don’t bother calling it back. Just watch out for this kind of trick.NatWest VisaChina6 yearsGot a call claiming someone had taken £600 from my Visa card. They told me to ring that number straight away. I’ve already told NatWest about it.NatWest6 yearsOn the 23rd of July 2020, an elderly and vulnerable gentleman was cold-called and talked into handing over £6200 for a car he neither wanted nor needed. Luckily, the bank staff spotted it was a dodgy deal and stopped the transfer just in time. Total scam and fraud.6 yearsI got a call from 02070971494 claiming they were from First Direct, saying a £300 payment was being sent to China from my account. They told me to call a number to cancel it, but something felt off, so I didn't phone back and instead told my bank about it.First DirectChina6 yearsGot a call saying £300 had been withdrawn from my HSBC card and they told me to ring the HSBC fraud dept on 02070971494. Obviously I didn’t call back. Total scammers!HSBC6 yearsMy sister just got a call from this number, and someone pretending to be from the bank asked her to send £20,000 from her NatWest account to HSBC. She’s quite elderly and vulnerable, so she ended up doing it. Please, whatever you do, don’t answer calls from this number!!NatWestHSBC6 yearsGot a call from a bloke with a thick accent saying £300 was withdrawn from my account. He gave me the number listed here. When I rang back, someone picked up claiming to be from Santander’s Fraud Team. They’re definitely not Santander! When they asked me to look up stuff on Google, I stopped - it’s a trick to get your device’s IP address. They couldn’t verify any transactions either. After checking with Santander directly, it turns out it’s a total scam. Be careful and hang up quick if they ask about a £300 charge.SantanderGoogle6 yearsLooks like I got the same call as a few others, someone said they were from Santander, mentioned there was a dodgy £300 transaction on my account. They said they'd pass it along to the fraud team for me.Santander6 yearsThose banking scam people are absolute crooks, honestly if you get the opportunity, just shoot 'em.6 yearsI got a call with a really thick accent from someone saying they were with NatWest and that I had to stop a payment. I rang my bank straight away and they confirmed no transaction like that was going on. Definitely a scam, so watch out for these sorts of calls.NatWest6 yearsGot a call from someone pretending to be from Barclays fraud team, said £300 was taken from my account and sent to China. They kept pushing me to call 02070971494. I just said no and ignored it. The guy got really annoyed in the end. Definitely a scam.ChinaBarclays6 yearsGot a call earlier from someone who said his name was David and claimed there was fraud on my account. I quickly rang my bank myself and, while I was still speaking to them, he gave me another ring. The bank was able to listen in and told me straight away it was a scammer trying to get my banking info.David6 yearsI got a call from a bloke with a thick accent who told me there was suspicious stuff going on with my hsbc account. He kept saying i had to ring this number to report the fraud. Even after i told him i never did the transaction, he said he couldn't stop it himself and kept pushing me to call that number. Of course, i didn't bother ringing them.HSBC6 yearsBe careful, this was a scam call pretending to be from Lloyds fraud department. They first try to make you trust them by saying they stopped a withdrawal from your account. Then they ring again claiming someone inside the bank is doing something dodgy and ask you to transfer money to help catch them. The truth is, it’s just your money they’re after and you won’t get a penny back.Lloyds BankSubmit Your Own Report (020 7097 1494)
