02079304451 Summary (Read all comments)

Phone number ☎️ 02079304451 👆 is reported as a persistent and sophisticated scam targeting individuals by impersonating the fraud departments of well-known banks, particularly Starling Bank. Callers often use phone numbers almost identical to legitimate bank lines, differing by just one digit, and possess personal information to appear credible. They attempt to extract sensitive details such as card numbers or app access codes and may pressure victims into making payments or confirming account balances. Many victims have suffered financial losses, with some losing hundreds or thousands of pounds. The scammers exhibit a high level of professionalism and urgency, making vigilance essential. It is strongly advised to hang up immediately, never share personal or banking information, and verify any suspicious calls by contacting banks directly using official numbers. Reporting these incidents to appropriate authorities is crucial to combat such fraud.

This scam was really clever and slick! They kept me on the phone for ages, slowly trying to piece together all sorts of banking info and personal details throughout the call. Definitely felt like they were pulling off a pretty neat trick.

Got a call from someone saying they were Thomas Brown at Starling about some dodgy transactions on my account. I ended up hanging up because my app showed it wasn't actually Starling ringing me.

So this person called me claiming to be from my bank, saying I had a big sum of money waiting for me and all I needed to do was respond. I immediately thought something was off since my bank always asks me security questions first, but this caller didn’t ask any. Pretty sure it was a scam.

Definitely a scam! Someone called claiming to be from the Telco Three, but I just ended the call straight away. They rang me again a bit later that same day, so I’ve gone ahead and blocked the number now.

Received a phone call from a person claiming to be with Starling bank. They said there had been suspicious activity on my card and asked for my card info. When I asked if they could confirm my last 3 transactions, the caller immediately ended the call. I've already reported it to Starling bank for them to look into it.

Avoid giving any info to this number. They acted all official and said they were calling from my bank’s fraud team (Starling). They told me my account had been involved in some dodgy activity, which was a bit ironic really. They even knew my name and address, which creeped me out. Seriously, don’t give them any details. The phone number they rang from looked almost exactly like Starling’s actual customer service line, just one digit off, so it was proper believable. Total SCAMMERS!

I came perilously close to being duped by this one. I was just moments away from losing a hefty sum of £4,000. Seriously, steer clear of this number - don’t buy into any of their flimsy reassurances regarding why it doesn’t quite match the digits on your card. If you find yourself receiving a call from this number, just hang up immediately!

Received a call from what claimed to be the fraud department of Starling Bank. They really had me going for a moment, sounded incredibly genuine. However, things took a turn when they mentioned sending a payment to Post Office Travel Money for my authorisation - an utterly baffling request! That was the tipping point, so I swiftly ended the call and reached out to Starling directly. Turns out, it was a classic scam attempt.

I’ve had a woman with a London accent ring me thrice now, all about loft insulation and saving energy. Told her I already had insulation fitted not long ago and asked her to stop ringing, but she keeps pushing. On the last call, I tried to cut her off to remind her again not to bother me, and she just hung up on me. It makes me wonder why she won’t listen and keeps calling anyway.

They kept going on and on, asking loads about supposed payments. After a bit, they wanted me to use some app to get access. I just ended the call, telling them I’d ring my bank first thing in the morning.

I've never come across this particular cold caller before. They purported to be from a business service, but rather suspiciously, they wanted me to verify my name before disclosing anything about themselves. I flatly declined and insisted they clarify who they were. My gut tells me they're up to no good.

Got a call from someone claiming to be from Starling's fraud team. These scammers actually got through and made 7 withdrawals from our business account, none of which have been paid back yet, thankfully all were under £20. They’d first let payments go through, then ring you up acting very convincing, trying to make you believe they're genuine. After that, they ask you to send money to yourself as the payee to set up a new account. Don’t fall for this trick!

COMPLETE RIP-OFF - really clever scam... Don't trust them! Someone rang pretending to be from Starling, saying they were linked to the 'Lloyds fraud team' and told me to move all my funds from Lloyds to Starling to supposedly keep it secure. I guess they wanted to nab my Starling account info after that! I pointed out that their number was off by one digit compared to the real Starling number, and they started acting dodgy, so I ended the call and then phoned Starling directly to check.

I got a call tonight where the caller claimed to be from Monzo's Fraud department. Just to clarify, the Monzo app has a feature that allows you to verify if you're genuinely on the line with them. It’s obviously a scam. Make sure to report and block that number immediately!

Looks like a pretty clever scammer pretending to be the Starling Fraud dept. They claimed to have stopped 2 suspicious transactions on my account. At first, they didn’t ask for any personal info but it all felt fishy when they requested my full card number (which obviously I refused to give). Checked with Starling via their app and they confirmed they hadn’t called me at all. The fake number is just one digit different from Starling’s real customer service line, so watch out! Such a dodgy bunch of ####.

SCAM ALERT - I received six calls in a mere ten minutes, all from someone claiming to be from the fraud department of Starling Bank. The telephone number was remarkably similar to the official Starling one, with just a single digit off. I'm convinced it's some sort of spoofing tactic as it was a landline and dropped the connection three times. They were probing for all sorts of personal details and already possessed quite a bit of my information, pushing me to verify my account balance. Strangely, they only sought confirmation of what they already seemed to know, making the call feel rather convincing. The chap on the line was quite unpleasant, constantly interrupting both me and my husband, completely disregarding our responses. He insisted that without confirming my balance, I risked losing everything in my account.

Got a call from someone pretending to be Starling Bank’s fraud team about some strange activity on my account. They seemed to know loads of my details, which freaked me out a bit. Things got dodgy when they told me to open my banking app, so I quickly searched their number online. Unfortunately, they managed to make a couple of payments over £400 on my card before I could freeze it. As soon as I realised, I rang the real fraud department using the number on my card straight away to sort everything out.
