Phone number ☎️ 03453000268 👆 is reported as a number frequently used in sophisticated scam attempts posing as Bank of Scotland or Lloyds Bank, especially targeting business accounts. Callers often claim urgent issues like suspicious transactions or mandate requests, with some leaving convincing but dubious voicemails or letters. While the number itself is genuine for Bank of Scotland business, scammers exploit it through spoofing or impersonation to extract personal and financial details. Many callers hang up abruptly or use poor English, and recipients who verified with their actual banks often found no legitimate contact. Recipients are advised not to provide any information, to verify independently via official bank channels, and to report suspicious activity promptly to avoid fraud. Exercise vigilance, especially if you do not bank with these institutions.

Seems pretty dodgy to me.AlexLloyd ' s BankLloyd ' s8 yearsSCAM alert. They send letters and make calls claiming they’re from different banks. It’s a con to steal from you.
