02082429447 Summary (Read all comments)
Phone number ☎️ 02082429447 👆 is reported as linked to numerous scam letters purporting to come from NatWest or RBS regarding tax residency confirmation. Many recipients, including elderly and overseas customers, were urged to provide personal documents such as passports and national insurance numbers. Several have flagged inconsistencies like fake logos, incorrect addresses, and mismatched postcodes. Calls to the number often result in no answer or suspicious responses, with some noting the number displaying as unrelated businesses. Although a few believe it to be legitimate after security checks, the overwhelming consensus, including official NatWest contact confirmations, is that this is a phishing attempt. Individuals receiving such communications are strongly advised not to share personal information and to verify directly with official bank channels or their local branch.
Reports on phone number 02082429447
4 yearsI didn’t get a phone call, but I did receive a letter that looked really official asking me to ring them back - felt quite suspicious!6 yearsGot a letter about tax with a phone number to ring - 02082429447. It went to my 92-year-old aunt, who got really worried since she had no idea what to make of it.6 yearsI found this number listed on the official NatWest Customer Tax Operations page, so it appears to be genuine. I rang NatWest's fraud team to double-check and they confirmed it's a valid number. They connected me through a secure line, and the person I spoke with asked me to complete a security check, plus they had info about me that only the bank would have. Seems legit to me.NatWest6 yearsReceived a dodgy letter pretending to be from NatWest, asking me to complete a form with all my bank details and tax residency info.NatWest6 years02082429447. I moved back to New Zealand from London about three weeks ago. Got a letter supposedly from Natwest sent to my mum’s place here in NZ saying I needed to provide personal info because I’m now a tax resident here. The letter looked pretty professional but when I called the number, my phone said it was an 'air conditioning' service. I googled the number and quickly figured out it was a scam. Also, the paper wasn’t that crisp white like official Natwest stationery. What really worries me is how they got my mum’s NZ address - I only updated it a couple of weeks ago!New ZealandLondonNatwestNZ6 yearsThis number came up on some letters I got from my bank about my tax residency status. I double-checked it on their official site here: [#][#]rbs[###]/taxresidency It looks like it mainly concerns American citizens but I got flagged since I switched my phone over to a holiday sim while away. I called them, passed security checks, and they sorted everything out pretty quick. They just asked me to confirm I'm a UK tax resident and give them my NI number.UK7 yearsGot a letter to a house address asking me to verify info about some made-up business for tax stuff. Tried calling the number on the letterhead I found online - looks dodgy to me. Very fishy.7 yearsJust received this dodgy message pretending to be from Natwest, same as the others mentioned here, asking me for all my personal info and phone number, 02082429447. Ive never actually used Natwest and honestly wouldn’t want to, they’re a rubbish bank anyway.Natwest BankNatwest7 yearsLooks like Natwest's data system might have been hacked, and anyone getting this letter needs to be really careful. This is clearly a phishing attempt and it feels like Natwest isn't handling it quickly enough to keep their customers safe. If you get this letter, you should go to your closest branch and ask them to look into it.Natwest7 yearsJust got a letter that claims to be from NatWest asking me to provide all my details because they need to "confirm my tax residency status" within 30 days or they’ll take action and inform my local tax office. The letter and forms look like photocopies, but they’ve included a 2nd class envelope addressed to Customer Tax Operations, PO Box 278, WYMONDHAM, NR18 8EQ. Feels dodgy to me, so I’m going to get in touch with NatWest directly. I don’t earn enough to pay tax here in the UK, where I’ve lived my whole life, my income’s just the state pension.NatWestWYMONDHAMUK7 yearsSo, my dad over in Portugal got a letter asking for his info too. He’s got an account with NatWest but never mentioned the letter to me. Instead, he got someone at a local bank to confirm his details with a stamp and mailed it back. Then, a few days later, he got another letter and told me about it. I did some digging and found this site. Honestly, it’s all a big scam. I’m really worried about what they might do with the info he already gave them. It’s proper low of these fraudsters to do stuff like this.PortugalNatWest8 yearsThe number 02082429447 links to two different postcodes. One postcode is on the return envelope, and another on an undated letter, neither of which are actually in Wymondham. That place has a tiny post office with no obvious PO boxes. Natwest really needs to sort this out quick.WymondhamNatwest8 yearsGot a formal letter from Nat West asking for my Spanish tax ID. Tried ringing them but was stuck on hold for ages, just to tell them I’d already sent those details. What on earth is going on here?Nat WestSpain8 yearsMy Mum and Dad rang from France to ask if this was some kind of scam - both got letters today, supposedly from NatWest, telling them to complete forms about their tax residency (said they had 10 days to send them back or NatWest would report them to the tax office or whatever). The number was 0208 242 9447. Cheers to everyone who shared info earlier, I Googled it and worked it out super quick!FranceNatWestGoogle8 yearsToday I got a letter from NatWest as well. The thing is, I closed my account like a year and a half ago. Even after that, they still keep sending me letters. It's quite annoying!NatWest8 yearsGot the exact same letter from Natwest here. So, I rang their customer service to check if it was legit. They told me yeah, the tax department does send out these letters. But they also advised me to ring the number on the Natwest site just to be sure.Natwest8 yearsGot a letter that looked like it was from NatWest, asking me to verify my tax status. Was gonna cheekily use the prepaid envelope to send back "try harder you muppets", but in the end just chucked it straight in the bin.NatWest8 yearsI’m living in Spain and just got a second letter this week mentioning this phone number linked to RBS. They told me it’s a scam. The first letter wanted my date of birth, but Ive been with RBS for ages, so they should already have that info!SpainRBS8 yearsI dont get why this site even exists?? It's just people throwing around guesses, saying everything has to be a scam but nothing ever gets sorted out..8 yearsNot long after I got my new Natwest card, I ended up getting a letter from them again. This isn’t the first time either. I reckon someone at Natwest might be sharing details whenever they post cards to overseas places.Natwest8 yearsI received a letter claiming to be from RBS, but it struck me as odd because it mentioned they didn’t have my date of birth on file. I've been a customer with them for ages, so this raised a red flag. I later found out the letter was actually a scam.RBS8 yearsVERY WORRIED: Got a letter a few days ago claiming to be from Natwest about tax residency, showed this number 02082429447 and a P.O. box in Wynmondham. I rang Natwest straight away, they told me they hadn’t sent anything out recently. Both their fraud department and customer support said it was likely a scam. "Likely"? Honestly Natwest, sort this out properly, team up with the Police and stop these scams. I’ve now started an official “enquiry” with them to check if it really is fraud or not.NatWestWynmondham8 yearsI just got another letter from them, didn’t bother with the first one cos it seemed dodgy. Now they’re saying they’re 'obliged to inform the Tax Office' about me. Feels a bit off, since I reckon the tax folks can check that stuff directly. Lucky I looked up the number online first. Cheers for the heads up, everyone.Tax Authority8 yearsI got a letter for a relative who’s currently in Canada on a gap year, so I called the number on it. They asked for her account info, a copy of her passport, and her national insurance number. Cheers for the tips on this forum, I reckon I should contact Nat West to make sure this is legit.CanadaNatWest8 yearsGot a letter from Natwest about some tax stuff, but the phone number they gave connected me to an air con firm on my mobile. The person I spoke to didn’t sound very helpful and kept saying I didn’t have to fill anything out. I’m planning to pop into Natwest with the letter to check if it’s legit.Natwest BankNatwest8 yearsscam call8 yearsGot a letter asking me to verify my tax residency, had the NatWest logo on it. So I rang up NatWest and they said they didn’t send anything like that and warned me it’s probably a scam. Bit weird really, since this came through right after I told NatWest to post my new card to Australia, where I'm working temporarily.NatWestAustralia9 yearsSo I called just to see what’s going on, and a foreign accent picked up. The main number’s not even based in London, and the minicom one’s from Manchester! Honestly, it screams scam to me - best not to get involved.LondonManchester9 yearsI’m quite concerned about this whole situation. I answered the first letter from these folks because NatWest told me to. But after that, I’ve received four more letters demanding info, and a lot of it just feels dodgy. I actually rang up the NatWest fraud department and the guy there said these letters COULD be legit. It turns out the website they mentioned is real, linked to the number 02082429447. Honestly, it’s all really confusing and a bit unsettling.NatWest9 yearsThis happened to me as well! I haven't used NatWest for ages. The letter looked legit at first, but something felt off. I decided to ring the number just to check, and my phone showed it as "air conditioning" or something similar. Nobody picked up either. Total scam!Natwest9 yearsI’m in Australia now too and just shut down my NatWest account recently. So, this must be a scam for sure, right? Cheers!AustraliaNatWest9 yearsI called Natwest about it and they told me it’s a total scam, so best just to ignore any of those calls. Proper scary stuff!Natwest9 yearsGot a letter from this number too, with a Nat West logo on it, asking me to confirm where I pay my taxes. I live in Australia and actually shut my Nat West account last year. It felt a bit off, so I looked up the postcode online and stumbled across this website. Really glad I checked it out. Thanks to everyone sharing their stories - it’s helped me and surely others stay alert.NatWestAustralia9 yearsMy elderly folks in Ireland got hit by a total scam, they were asked for passports, birth certificates and all sorts for some tax thing. Complete rip off.Ireland9 yearsSomebody called my elderly parents asking for sensitive info like passports and birth certificates, claiming it was about taxes. I told them straight, it’s a scam. The number they used was 02082429447.9 yearsSomeone rang my elderly folks about taxes and wanted them to send passport and birth certificate copies. I warned them it was probably a con. Number was 02082429447.9 yearsI tried calling back but no luck... there's just so many scams these days... really hard to trust any of these papers now...9 yearsThis number claims to be from NatWest’s customer tax operations, but I found it linked to three different places - Manchester, London, and Wymondham. That strikes me as odd, so I haven’t bothered to call back until I can be sure they’re legit.NatWestManchesterLondonWymondham9 yearsGot a letter addressed to my 8 year old saying he's a tax resident in Ireland, but we've never even visited there. Tried calling them loads of times, but no one picks up. Cheers for the heads up.Ireland9 yearsGot a couple of letters from 'Natwest' claiming I'm an Aussie tax resident. I was just about to write back again when I stumbled upon this site. Cheers for the heads up! Honestly, I wonder how they manage to sleep at night... probably pretty easy, knowing them.NatwestAustralia9 yearsBack in August 2017, they hadn't stopped yet! Now folks in Ireland who are British are receiving identical letters. I rang the number and was told the call centre’s based in Manchester. Didn’t hand over any details though. Luckily, I kept all the paperwork. What gave it away was their terrible English - and trust me, I should know as I got a Distinction in English Language at GCSE.IrelandManchester9 yearsOn 8th August 2017, I got a letter that looked like it came from NatWest, complete with their logo - but it definitely wasn’t genuine! The address on it was just a PO Box, not a real location. When I checked the postcode NR18 8EQ in Wymondham, Norfolk, the phone number given was a London one (02082429447), which felt suspicious. The letter claimed I had an account in Jersey and asked me to fill in some tax forms, including details like my date of birth and a copy of my passport. Obviously, I didn’t send anything back. I went to my local NatWest branch to report it, but they seemed pretty indifferent, just saying the fraud team would handle it. I tried to stress how dangerous this could be for other people who might fall for it. At first, a bank lady even offered to help me complete the form and post it for me, but I refused and decided to investigate on my own. Turns out, it’s a total scam. - Anonymous, LondonNatWestWymondhamNR18 8EQNorfolkLondonJerseyFraud TeamAnon London9 yearsGot a letter requesting all my personal details and it was linked to this number, but I dont even hold an account with May West Bank. I went down to my nearest branch and gave the letter to them, now they’re sending it off to their fraud department to check it out.May West Bank9 yearsTerrible experience!! Folks claiming to be from NatWest tax collection team trying to scam you. Watch out!NatWest10 yearsGot a call from a woman who sounded quite polite and clear, said it was about my bank and they needed my tax information. I kept my guard up and wouldn’t share anything. She then asked for my phone number and gave me one in return: 02082429447. I double checked with my bank, and they only use 0345 numbers, so something felt off.10 yearsGot a call from what sounded like HMRC, something about my business tax.
