2 yearsI signed up just to check some financial details, but these calls have been relentless for months now. I've asked them to remove me from their list but they keep ignoring it. Sounds like the calls are coming from the Philippines. I seriously doubt they're genuine. It's so annoying! This kind of persistent harassment should be against the law.Philippines4 yearsI received a curious phone call, supposedly from Starling Bank, right after I turned down a transaction for £1,962 at John Lewis. They asked me about my account balance, which I mentioned was a mere £8, and when I clarified that I didn’t have any overdraft facility, they abruptly hung up! I've since reached out to Starling directly, and they've reassured me that it wasn't them contacting me. So, I’ve gone ahead and cancelled my card and requested a new one as a precaution. Just a heads-up to everyone - stay vigilant!Starling BankJohn LewisStarling4 yearsThis number called me and left a message claiming I’d been in contact with someone with the Omicron Covid variant. They sent me a link that looked just like the NHS site and asked for my personal info along with my Starling bank details to cover a 99p fee for postage of a covid test kit. Luckily, I realised it was a scam and cancelled my bank card pretty sharpish. A couple of days later, the same number 02079204450 rang back asking for my savings balance, pretending to be from Starling Bank, which was obviously a lie.NHSStarling Bank4 yearsSo I got a call and a voicemail from this number saying I’d been in touch with someone who had the Omicron Covid variant. They sent me a link that looked just like the NHS site, and I ended up putting in my personal info along with my Starling bank details to pay 99p for a Covid test postage fee. Luckily, I caught on it was a scam and cancelled my bank card straight away. Then, about two days later, the same number 02079204450 rang me again asking how much money I had saved, claiming they were from Starling bank, which was completely false.NHSStarling Bank4 yearsI received a rather dubious call claiming to be from Starling regarding a transaction from John Lewis that needed my immediate attention to deny. The caller then proceeded to probe me about my accounts with other banks and credit cards. When I inquired about the purpose of such questions, he abruptly hung up on me. Subsequently, I decided to cancel my card and officially refute any association with that John Lewis transaction.StarlingJohn Lewis4 yearsSomebody rang me saying they were from Starling Bank, then started asking about a payment for John Lewis. Even after I told them straight up to stop calling, they kept ringing. It’s pretty clear to me it was a scam. I’ve blocked their number now, but they’re still trying to get through from unknown numbers too.Starling BankJohn Lewis4 yearsGot a call from someone saying they were from Starling Bank’s fraud team, about a John Lewis transaction. They told me to transfer money from my Spaces account to main account and then tried to get an online payment code from me. Starling Bank never rings customers like that. Totally a scam call, so just hang up and ring 159 instead.Starling BankJohn Lewis4 yearsThis is definitely a con.4 yearsGot a call from someone claiming to be Starling, asking if I’d tried making a payment to John Lewis. Sounded dodgy to me.StarlingJohn Lewis4 yearsTotal scam, dont trust it!4 yearsI received a rather dubious call, with someone posing as Starling Bank. They knew my name, my card info, and even my phone number! It all started when they tried to put through a charge to my John Lewis account, which I promptly declined using the app. After that, they were desperate to dig up more personal details from me. Do yourself a favour: don't engage with them! Just go ahead and cancel your card, then request a new one. You can conveniently handle it all through the app itself.Starling BankJohn Lewis4 yearsGot a notification from Starling about a John Lewis payment attempt. I blocked it, but the person kept pushing for more details and somehow ended up altering the name on one of my Spaces accounts. Definitely reported this sketchy behaviour!Starling BankJohn Lewis4 yearsGot a dodgy call pretending to be from Starling Bank, saying there was some dodgy activity using my card around London for a John Lewis purchase. Then they started asking for personal bank details. When I refused, they just hung up on me. I've blocked the number but it’s still called me like 8 times since. Best to just block and ignore, don’t get drawn in.Starling BankLondonJohn Lewis4 yearsI had a rather peculiar experience recently. A person purportedly calling from Starling attempted to get me to green-light a payment to John Lewis. Curiously, the line was rather poor, and we got disconnected mid-conversation. Shortly afterwards, my Starling app flashed a notification for around £750 that I promptly dismissed. To add to the oddness, they proceeded to ring me back multiple times, both from the original number and an anonymous 'No Caller ID' one. Quite worrying, I'd say!StarlingJohn Lewis4 yearsGot a call from someone claiming to be from Starling Bank, chatting about overdrafts and savings accounts. Sounded a bit off to me, so I wouldn’t trust it. Probably a scam trying to get your info.Starling Bank4 yearsGot a call from someone claiming to be from Starling's fraud team trying to scam me. Gave it a miss, sounded too fishy to be true. Watch out, folks!Starling Bank4 yearsThis number is definitely dodgy! Best to give it a miss and not pick up!4 yearsI received a rather dubious call from someone claiming to represent Starling Bank, insisting that they had halted a transaction at John Lewis on my behalf. They pressed me to access my app to confirm my identity. Instinctively, I ended the call and spotted a notification from Starling about the pending transaction at John Lewis, which I promptly rejected and immediately blocked my card. Almost straight away, he rang again, urging me to check the app and validate my details. I informed him of my actions regarding the transaction and card cancellation. His tone shifted sharply, and he told me to shove off before cutting the line.Starling BankJohn LewisStarling4 yearsGot a call from someone claiming to be from Starling bank, but it was definitely a scam.Starling Bank4 yearsGot a dodgy call from someone pretending to be Starling Bank, asking about a past transaction. Totally a scam.Starling Bank4 yearsI received three calls in quick succession from someone claiming to be from Starling Bank-an institution I'm actually with, mind you. They mentioned something about a suspected fraudulent transaction occurring in London, which raised a red flag for me since I'm based in Ipswich. They said they'd halted the transaction due to it being rather unusual and asked whether I wanted to approve or deny it. Instinctively, I rejected the transaction through my banking app right away. Then things got a bit suspicious when they inquired about when my next deposit would go into my account and requested confirmation of my balance. I tend to keep my account balance on the lower side, but there was this odd noise in the background that sounded like a car door being repeatedly opened and closed. Not feeling quite right about it, I quickly reached out to Starling's actual customer service. They informed me that they seldom initiate calls to customers, leading them to believe it was a phishing attempt. After checking, I discovered the number they called from was just one digit different from the genuine Starling number (the real one is 0207 930 4450). So, a word of caution to others-I've already cancelled my card and am in the process of getting a new one! Stay safe, folks.Starling BankLondonIpswichStarlingSubmit Your Own Report (020 7920 4450)
