03331038170 Summary (Read all comments)
Phone number ☎️ 03331038170 👆 is reported as a number mostly used by Lloyds Bank and its group (including Halifax and Bank of Scotland) to verify large cheque payments. Many users confirm it's a genuine security measure to confirm cheque details like amounts and payees before clearing. However, the calls often come without voicemail, leading some to suspect scams. There are mixed experiences; some report helpful, legitimate calls where no sensitive account info was requested, while others warn of scam attempts imitating the bank, sometimes involving high-pressure tactics or asking for sensitive details. Because of the similarity in approach, many remain cautious, especially with calls about old or unrelated accounts. Overall, the consensus is that it is primarily authentic but could be mimicked by fraudsters.
Reports on phone number 03331038170
6 monthsI got a text from Halifax Cheque Clearing, which is under Lloyd's Group. They say they’re checking on a big cheque going out of my account. The message said something like: A/C_XXXX XX/03/2026 We need to chat about cheque XXXXX dated XX/03/2026 and will ring you from 0333 103 8170 to sort it out. They asked me to pick up when they call so they can sort everything and make sure the cheque clears.Halifax Cheque ClearingLloyd ' s Group9 monthsThis person said they were checking on a cheque from Bank of Scotland, which is weird cause I haven’t had a BOS account in more than 30 years. Definitely a scam.Bank of ScotlandBOS10 monthsJust got a cheque from Lloyds clearing through, definitely not a scam!Lloyds11 monthsPretty sure that was Lloyds Bank, I was just making sure a cheque I'd written would go through alright.Lloyds Bank11 monthsGot a call from someone saying they were with Lloyds Bank asking if a cheque I had was being cashed today. Bit strange, not sure if it’s legit or maybe a scam? Anyone else had this?Lloyds Bank1 yearMy phone just rang with a call from this number. The person said they were from Lloyds and wanted me to verify a couple of cheque transactions I supposedly did recently.Lloyds1 yearGot a genuine call from Lloyds Bank about clearing a cheque, and they were really helpful.Lloyds Bank1 yearGot a call from Lloyds Bank’s cheque clearing team checking a couple of cheques I’d written for quite a bit of money. They asked me to confirm the cheque numbers, the amounts, and who they were made out to. It wasn’t a random call as it came just as the cheques were being presented to the bank. Kinda reassuring to know that Lloyds actually double-check stuff like this to keep our accounts secure. Made me feel like they’re looking out for me.Lloyds BankKindaLloyds1 yearOn the 18th of June 2025, my mobile rung up at 09:54 from a number I didn’t know. Because I didn’t recognise it, I just let it ring out and didn’t pick up.1 yearI got a call from this number and it was actually Lloyds Bank, they were just verifying some transactions on my account. I decided to ring Lloyds at 03453000000 myself to double check, and they confirmed it was legit.Lloyds BankLloyds1 yearI didn’t pick up, seemed a bit dodgy and like it might be a scam. Then again, it could’ve been my bank trying to sort out something about a cheque I recently paid!1 yearI didn't answer the phone and they didn’t even bother to leave a voicemail, so it’s pretty clear it was some sort of scam.1 yearI got a call from this number about a cheque I’d written, supposedly from Lloyds Bank’s security debt team. Before I agreed to talk, I actually went down to Lloyds and asked a staff member to check if the number was legit. Turns out, it really was them calling.Lloyds BankLloyds1 yearThis number rang on both my landline and mobile earlier. They claimed there was an issue with a cheque I'd supposedly written, but I told them I haven't written one in ages - not true really - then I just ended the call.1 yearGot a legit call about a cheque from Halifax, which is under Lloyds, if I’m not wrong.HalifaxLloyds2 yearsGot a call that seemed dodgy, using really personal info. I thought Lloyds might call about cheques, but apparently they don’t ring up for stuff like that. So yeah, probably just a spammer trying their luck.Lloyds2 yearsI wasn’t completely certain, but they asked if I wanted the enquiry sent through the post, so I said yes. Still, I’m planning to pop into my local bank branch tomorrow just to be safe.2 yearsGot a call from BOS confirming a cheque, definitely not a dodgy scam or anything.Bank of Scotland2 yearsThe call was actually from the Lloyds bank's clearance team, sounded legit enough.Lloyds Bank2 yearsCheque processing team at Lloyds Bank.Lloyds Bank2 yearsGot a call from Lloyds saying there was a problem with a cheque not clearing properly.Lloyds Bank2 yearsGot a call from someone claiming to be Halifax about a cheque issue. They wanted my full card number and PIN, which felt off. The scam was quite clever, even sent a text that popped up in what looked like a genuine Halifax message thread. Honestly, it all sounded exactly like real customer support from Halifax.Halifax2 yearsSeems like it came from the cheque clearance team at Lloyds bank.Lloyds Bank2 yearsMy bank actually phoned me to ask about a big cheque I’d paid, they wanted to check it was legit.2 yearsGot a call from Lloyds Bank PLC asking if it was alright to clear a cheque for a big amount in my account.Lloyds Bank PLC2 yearsIt would be better if the person calling gave more info about why they’re ringing instead of just asking questions. That way, it wouldn’t sound so dodgy and people wouldn’t automatically think it’s a scam.2 yearsThey rang me when I wasn't at home and didn't bother leaving any sort of message.2 yearsI’m completely deaf and have no idea who’s been ringing me.2 yearsGot a phone call earlier, didn’t pick up, thought it was probably some scam.2 yearsGot a ring from the bank wanting to make sure a cheque I'd handed over had cleared.2 yearsGot a call around 10:40 this morning asking about a cheque linked to Halifax. I was lucky not to share any bank info, but the whole thing left me pretty worried. They seemed to know quite a bit about the cheque, which really unsettled me.Halifax2 yearsThat number really belongs to Lloyds Bank, I believe. It's mostly used when they’re sorting out cheque clearances.Lloyds Bank2 yearsGot a call supposedly from Lloyds cheque clearing department about a cheque I supposedly wrote. They knew a few things but didn’t have the full info. I wasn’t about to give them any extra details or chat about it over the phone. The person on the line said Lloyds would follow up with a letter. Could be a scam, could not be, but I’m not risking it either way.Lloyds2 yearsSomebody called me claiming to be from Lloyds Bank about a cheque, but it was tied to a place I used to work at, not anymore. When I said I had no idea what they were on about, I just ended the call. I then contacted my old coworkers and they told me a few others have got the same kind of call - sounds like a total scam to me.Lloyds Bank2 yearsGot a call from someone claiming to be with Lloyds Bank, mentioning a company I used to work at - it was obviously a con. Seems like others from that place have been rung by the same people.Lloyds Bank2 yearsHad a call earlier from someone saying they were with Bank of Scotland. They asked me to confirm a cheque I'd supposedly written, which I wasn't about to do. So, I've blocked the number now!Bank of Scotland3 yearsI got a proper call from Lloyds the other day where they wanted to verify some cheque info. They actually shared enough details for me to answer the security stuff and even mentioned the cheque number before just asking if the amount was right.Lloyds3 yearsGot a call on my cell but they didn’t leave any voicemail. Figured it was some kind of spam. Later I looked up the number and saw it matched both my bank and a cheque I wrote, so the numbers seemed legit. Still, since there was no message, I’m thinking the call might not be safe.3 yearsGot a call from some bloke in Pakistan asking if I knew about a big cheque linked to this company I once worked at. Thing is, my phone number was never connected to their bank details. Definitely sounds like a total scam to me!Pakistan3 yearsGot a call from this number earlier, saying something about a cheque I supposedly wrote. They claimed to be from Lloyds Bank and wanted to talk about it. I asked who the cheque was made out to, but they said all they had was the number and amount. At that point, I told them they weren’t really Lloyds Bank and told them to stop calling. It was clear to me it was a scam, and they hung up almost straight away!Lloyds Bank3 yearsMy phone and landline both rang one after the other but they didn’t leave any voicemail. I ended up ringing Lloyds on a different number and found out that the calls were actually from their security team. They were verifying a big cheque before it could be processed. Trouble is, they don’t leave voicemails for security reasons, and people like me usually ignore messages from unknown numbers! So, while it could be scammers pretending to use Lloyds’ number, it might also be a legit call. If you bank with Lloyds, it’s a good idea to ring them on a separate number to confirm.Lloyds3 yearsI got two calls just five minutes apart from someone called Shaun, said he was ringing from Lloyds Bank.ShaunLloyds Bank3 yearsGot a call from the fraud department at Lloyds Bank double-checking a cheque I supposedly wrote, they even gave me the cheque number.

They try really hard to come across as genuine but nope... just scammers through and through.3 yearsGot a call from this number earlier about a cheque that apparently had been cashed that same morning.

I’ve got some experience in banking, so I get why banks need to reach out to clients occasionally. However, in this instance, the call was made to an elderly family member who’s now stressed out thinking she was being targeted by scammers. Luckily, she was smart enough not to share any personal info. I’m not criticising the bank for checking the cheque, but honestly, they should find a safer way to do this - it could’ve been a proper scam very easily.Lloyds Bank3 yearsToday my partner got a call from this number claiming to be Lloyds bank, wanting to confirm the details of a cheque. He had written a big cheque recently and when they asked who it was made out to, he told them. They then said all was good and they'd sort it on his account.

They rattled off the cheque number, the date it was issued, and the amount on it, asking me to verify the name it was made out to so they could process it. It all sounded pretty convincing, but I found it quite unsettling. To be sure, I rang the 0345 number on the notice I'd received about that cheque, and they confirmed it was supposed to clear today. So while it might have been legit, I’m still a bit uneasy...Lloyds Bank3 yearsGot a call from someone saying they’re from the Bank of Scotland, trying to verify a cheque.

I looked up that second number and found similar comments here saying it belongs to Lloyds but scammers have been using it too, so we decided not to bother with it.
