I received a call from this number, alongside a no caller ID, purporting to be from NatWest. It all felt rather legitimate since the chap had my personal details, which likely could have been harvested from a link I clicked on earlier. He claimed to be part of the fraud investigation team and instructed me to set up a Revolut account to safeguard my funds, including my overdraft, as he was ostensibly going to deactivate my online banking and cancel my card. Then, he suggested I convert my pounds into euros and then back to pounds, using a virtual multi-currency Revolut pro card. At one point, he had me verify my identity via a tinyurl link, and as the money began to leave my account, he assured me it would be refunded, explaining that it was a method to trace the scammers. He even provided me with a reference number for the so-called fraud case and promised a follow-up call before 6pm the following day. When that call never came, I decided to ring the bank the next morning, only to discover it was all a scam. The transactions had gone through my Revolut account, so I had to reach out to them for reimbursement. Thankfully, NatWest did manage to change my cards and online banking details, and I remain hopeful everything will turn out alright. However, reaching out to Revolut was a nightmare. Their customer service is quite poor; I had to navigate through multiple people on an online chat since they don't offer a phone line for fraud issues, which is quite essential for a bank. The whole ordeal was incredibly stressful, and now I'm left uncertain about getting my money back. They’ve told me it could take up to two months for a response, meaning I’m stuck paying off my entire overdraft while trying to rebuild my funds.

It was pretty clear this was a scam, so I simply ended the call.

I was recently informed that I needed to complete my business profile by a certain deadline, or they’d go ahead and suspend my account. The kicker? They didn’t even have my proper business name! I chose not to ring them back-definitely seems like a dodgy scheme to me.

This number has left me two voicemails so far. The first sounded like it was for someone I’ve never heard of, asking about some form to fill out, so I figured it was a mistake. The second message was really unclear and I couldn’t make out what they were saying. I didn’t call back either time.

Absolute nuisance! I’ve had it verified by NatWest themselves. I received a remarkably convincing call from someone claiming to be from 'NatWest' on a withheld number, who then rang back on this number to 'authenticate' their identity. They went through a list of transactions, sounding incredibly genuine until they requested that I use the 'get money' feature and supply them with the code (which the app explicitly states that the bank would never ask for!). The caller abruptly disconnected once I expressed my discomfort and confusion. They were quite persuasive, though. Don't fall for it!

Someone said they were from NatWest, but as soon as I asked why they were calling, they just ended the call.

I received a call from this number, which purported to be from NatWest about my business profile. They were asking for additional details, threatening to suspend my business account if I didn’t comply. The number was almost identical to their official contact, save for the last digit, which could easily mislead others into thinking it's genuine. I chose not to engage, especially since they were inquiring about individuals I’ve never heard of.
