4 yearsGot a call from someone claiming to be Starling bank, asking me to approve a payment via my banking app. They wanted to know my account balance and asked me to verify my address too. Just a heads up, Starling never gives you a ring out of the blue - so if that happens, just end the call straight away. Then look up their number on the official website and ring them up to check if it was legit. If you’re suspicious, block your card and report the fraud. Their number was nearly right, but one digit was off. Always listen to your instincts!Starling BankStarling4 yearsJust got a call from someone claiming to be Starling after I received a payment request in my app. They wanted me to verify my bank info and address, which felt off. FYI, Starling doesn't call customers out of the blue. If you get a call like this, just hang up. Always ring their official number from their website to check if it was legit. Also, better to cancel your card if you’re suspicious. Always listen to your instincts!Starling4 yearsWhenever someone says they're from your bank, just hang up straight away. Then ring your bank back using the number printed on the card to make sure it's legit. Loads of scammers use fake bank numbers to trick folks, so watch out. If you do get one of these dodgy calls, there’s a post down below explaining how to report it. Don’t just brush off calls saying they're from your bank - always double-check.4 yearsGot a call from someone claiming to be from Starling, said they spotted a dodgy transaction on my account. Sounded so legit, like they actually knew my card had been nicked. They told me to block all payments right away... then another person rang, asked me to confirm a code to stop any more charges. Total rubbish, but since I’d just had my wallet swiped, I was proper on edge and ended up getting scammed big time. They emptied out my account, including my Christmas bonus. Proper nasty lot. If you get a call like that, just put the phone down immediately.Starling Bank4 yearsSomeone recently stole my card and I honestly thought their story was legit. They told me to cancel my payments and claimed to be from Starling, even knew my home address and phone number. But in the end, they emptied our current account completely. I feel absolute rubbish and like my privacy’s been totally invaded. Really hoping we can get the money back. Has anyone else had their cash nicked by these scumbags?!Starling4 yearsHave you managed to recover it? I lost £4000 because of a call I got last night and I feel completely daft. My card was stolen recently so I genuinely thought it was Starling, since the caller seemed to know all the details. Looking back, their tone wasn't very convincing or professional though. My husband and I are both feeling really silly about the whole thing. Starling are trying to help now, but honestly, I don’t know how we’ll cope if we don’t get that money back.Starling4 yearsSomeone from Starling rang me up right after they tried charging me, and they actually had my address info ready.Starling Bank4 yearsGot tricked by a phony Starling Bank scam, ended up losing all my money.

When I said no thanks, they kept ringing back. Eventually, I caught on and told the bloke his number was a mistake! 😂John Lewis4 yearsGot a call from someone claiming to be with Starling bank, checking on a transaction for John Lewis. They actually knew my name and address, which was a bit unsettling. Then they told me to refuse the payment and mentioned another one on eBay, which appeared right after.

When I told them their number was listed online for scams and had been reported, I just stopped responding.Starling BankJohn Lewis4 yearsGot a call from someone claiming to be with Starling bank, checking on a payment made to John Lewis. They already had my name and address, which seemed odd. Then they said there was another charge from Ebay that I should also cancel. That came through right after.

When I mentioned their number was flagged online for scams, I just stopped replying.Starling BankJohn Lewis4 years0207 940 4450 - Got a call claiming to be Starling bank, the number was just off by one digit from the legit Starling helpline. The caller told me there was a problem with a John Lewis payment that supposedly got declined. They told me to open my app straight away where there was a big attempted charge to John Lewis, then told me to cancel it right away (which they clearly tried making but it didn’t go through). After that, they pressured me into transferring money from my ‘Safe Spaces’ pot into my main account, saying my account was at risk. I said no way, called it a scam, and they freaked out, then started calling me by name and even read out my home address! The person threatened to send someone round with a baseball bat. I just hung up and reported it straight to Action Fraud.Starling BankStarlingJohn LewisSavings SpacesAction Fraud4 yearsSo it's not Manchester then? Maybe Halifax?

I denied it straight away then got a call from someone saying they were from my bank’s fraud department. The connection was terrible and the call dropped quick. Rang my bank after and they reckon it was a spoof caller. There’s a nasty name for these folks but I can’t say it here! 🤬🤬🤬 Had to cancel my card - what a hassle. Watch out, these scammers are super slick!John LewisFraud Department4 yearsGot a call from someone claiming to be from Starling Bank, saying there was an attempt to withdraw almost £2,000 from my John Lewis account. When they asked for my balance and then tried to quiz me with "security" questions, I refused to answer. After that, they told me I’d failed security and needed to email them sensitive info to get my account back. I told them I work with the police, and they just laughed it off, saying they weren’t bothered. Absolutely awful behaviour. I’ve reported this to Starling straight away.Starling BankJohn LewisStarling4 yearsAbsolute muppets still going about. Tried to fool me with a supposed £2,000 payment from “John Lewis,” pretending to be from Starling bank. They asked loads of questions about me, like my name and address. I declined the deal and fibbed about my bank balance. The caller had a northern accent, maybe Manchester? Then started threatening me, saying they'd come round and put an axe in my head. Really hope someone catches these clowns and puts a stop to their nasty antics once and for all.John LewisStarling BankManchester4 yearsI reckon someone’s been keeping tabs on their I.P. address for a while now without them realising it...
