03453511686 Summary (Read all comments)

Phone number ☎️ 03453511686 👆 is reported as a contentious number linked to Halifax’s fraud prevention team. Many users confirm it as a genuine automated service contacting customers about suspected card misuse, often verifying transactions without requesting sensitive information beyond basic details. Several found it helpful for halting fraudulent activity. However, others report it as a scam, with calls asking for personal data or citing phantom transactions, leading to confusion. Halifax advises always verifying any suspicious calls by independently ringing the number shown on your bank card or official website rather than responding to unsolicited numbers. Due to reports of impersonation and automated messaging, exercising caution and direct confirmation with Halifax is strongly recommended to ensure security.

This number called me and I missed it, then I answered another call from the same number but ending with a 5. It was Halifax, seemed genuine. They had put a tiny test charge on my card, I said it wasn’t me and they cancelled and sent me a new card. Only asked for my DOB and postcode, so nothing fishy at all.

I've received six calls from these scammers in the last thirty minutes. If Halifax is genuinely worried about this, they ought to reach out directly to the individual. An elderly person, say someone who's 82, finds it incredibly challenging to discern who's trustworthy nowadays, and it’s quite unsettling.

ALLOW ME TO BE FRANK: THE REASON WHY A NUMBER OF INDIVIDUALS ARE CLAIMING IT’S A SCAM IS THAT EVEN SOME OF THE HALIFAX EMPLOYEES, INCLUDING THOSE IN THE FRAUD DEPARTMENT, ARE UNAWARE THAT IT’S ACTUALLY AN AUTHENTIC HALIFAX NUMBER. AS A RESULT, SOME PEOPLE ARE INFORMED IT’S FRAUDULENT, WHILST OTHERS ARE NOT. IT'S A CLASSIC CASE OF BANKING INEPTITUDE, IF YOU ASK ME!!!

03453511686 - Got three calls really close together from this number with automated messages asking for 3 digits. I rang Halifax using the number on the back of my card and they said this number isn’t in their system and to never call back or share any details with it. Oddly enough, Halifax’s Twitter said a while ago this number was legit, but that seems to have changed. Best not to take the risk. Just contact Halifax directly using the number on your card and they’ll let you know if they need to reach you.

It cant be a scam and legit at the same time. If you reckon its a scam, report it to the police. But if you say its a scam and you know it’s not, you could get in trouble. Likewise, if you say its genuine and you know its not, that could get you prosecuted too. Just be careful before making accusations.

This is total rip off. If someone from a company like this rings you, just hang up and ring the company directly to check. Any replies here saying it’s a genuine service are most likely the scammers trying to fool us.

For sure legit. I got an automated call from Halifax's fraud department. They thought there were dodgy payments because I'd done loads of contactless purchases that day. They read out the transactions, I said yes, and that was all. They didn’t ask for any personal info.

This is for real. I didn't answer the automated call but called the number on the card instead. Someone had made a suspicious purchase with an old card number I'd already cancelled, but it was still active. You'd expect the old card to be blocked once you get a new one!

This is totally legit, it was actually the Halifax fraud dept ringing me. After seeing this page, I rang the number found on the back of my card, and they confirmed someone was trying to commit fraud. So the call I got was genuine.

I received a series of three calls from someone purporting to be with the Halifax fraud prevention department. They mentioned something about my debit card activity and promised to help safeguard me against potential fraud. They left a phone number along with a three-digit reference to use when I got in touch. Quite suspicious, if you ask me!

I can assure you, this number reeks of a scam! My husband received a text claiming that his card was charged £19.99 for an Xbox (if only that were true!). He had a hunch that something was off, so I took it upon myself to look into his online banking. Thankfully, no funds had been withdrawn! Do yourselves a favour and steer clear of this nonsense. Always consult your bank or call the fraud hotline found on the back of your card for clarity! I hope this information proves useful!

I've been receiving calls from this number, with automated messages alerting me that there might be fraudulent activity linked to my card.

I've received two calls from this number. The second time, they left a message mentioning my son's name and claimed there was some activity on his debit card. They insisted I call back using a three-digit code they provided, along with the number 03453511686. However, when I checked with Halifax, they didn’t recognise that number at all. The voicemail was just a standard automated voice saying that his debit card was in use and advised me to contact them for security reasons. Interestingly, the message never actually stated that there was fraudulent activity, just that it was being used. I'm just holding off until my son gets home from work so I can fill him in on this.

I've come across a number that’s flagged as Halifax Fraud. I received a text prompting me to ring this particular number due to fraudulent activity. Once I called, they guided me through various steps to address the issue. To be honest, they didn’t request any details that raised red flags for me; it genuinely seemed authentic. However, being a naturally cautious person, I decided to do a bit of digging online, locating the main number for Halifax. After getting connected, I requested to speak with someone from the fraud department. Once I finally got through, I laid out my concerns and asked for confirmation that the previous call was indeed legitimate and connected to Halifax. The operator reassured me after a few verification questions, confirming that the interaction had been logged on my account and everything was above board. In hindsight, I probably should’ve checked that from the outset, but at least it’s a Halifax number for those who might need it.

For me, it was a legit call - they stopped a payment I was trying to do in the US - I went down to the branch and got it all fixed - now the payment’s going through. The fraud team flagged it since it wasn’t something I usually do - and they were right. So, even tho it was a bit annoying, it’s really there to protect your cash. Cheers Halifax!

I called the number on the back of my Halifax card just to check if it was legit and they confirmed it was. They even mentioned that the number pops up online labelled as a 'scam', but assured me it’s a real one. They said if an automated service starts asking you for your info instead of the other way round, then it’s dodgy. So yeah, this number’s definitely legit.

They keep ringing me at all sorts of odd hours and even leave automated voicemails. Feels like a kind of theft, especially when I have to pay to listen to their messages, right?

This has to be a scam. I just got a call from this number and the person on the other end started making really inappropriate threats after claiming he had my address.

I just got off the phone with the Halifax bank, and I can confirm that this number is legitimate. It's definitely not a scam!

I recently received a call from this number and had no intention of dealing with Halifax, so I ended the call straight away. I'm quite baffled as to how they managed to get hold of my number, especially since I don't even know it myself! I only signed up with Sky a few months back, and this is a completely new number for me. It's odd, really, as I’ve hardly even used it yet.

I’m not a customer of Halifax at all ?? They called me but I didn’t pick up. I looked up the number and ended up on this site. Seems a bit odd since I’m with a completely different bank.

Cheers for all the feedback, folks. I got a call from this same number and was a bit iffy about it, but after seeing what some of you said, I decided to ring the number on the back of my Halifax debit card instead and sorted everything out. 0345 351 1686 is actually a legit Halifax fraud team number, but they did say to always call the number on your card if you’re unsure.

Real deal - got a robocall to confirm if recent charges on my card were mine or suspicious. They only asked for my birthdate and then went through all my most recent purchases on the call with me.

This number is linked to real Halifax debit card fraud calls. If you're unsure, just call the number on the back of your debit card. Halifax have a separate Online Fraud team who didn’t seem to know about 03453511686 (not very helpful, Halifax!) which might explain why a lot of people say it’s a scam. The debit card fraud department and the online fraud team are different. If you’re doubtful about any number, best to ring the one on your card - it’s what stopped a dodgy transaction for us.

This is a legit number for Halifax fraud dept. I phoned the number on my card and stopped a dodgy attempt to clear out my account. The lady confirmed it was the real number. They've cancelled my card now. But honestly, always call the number on the back of your own card to be safe.

I can assure you, this number does not belong to Halifax. It’s currently under scrutiny by Halifax Fraud and the Metropolitan Police. Please refrain from sharing any personal information tied to this number and, instead, get in touch with the helpline on the reverse side of your card. Stay safe!

I had a rather unsettling experience today. First, I got a call at 9 in the morning, and then another one around 3 this afternoon. I decided it was best to reach out to Halifax and ended up cancelling my card. Better safe than sorry, I suppose!

So I got a call saying it was Halifax, telling me someone was using my card and gave me a code to ring back! THIS ISN'T HALIFAX AT ALL. Just call the number on the back of your card and NEVER share info with that number.

I’m rather sceptical about this number being linked to Halifax. I received a call from it earlier today, yet I don’t hold an account with Halifax whatsoever! It feels like it might be a dodgy scheme if you ask me.

If you're having trouble accessing your online account or can't make it to the bank, please pick up the phone and dial the number found on the reverse of your card. It's crucial to do this swiftly, particularly if the automated message provides you with alternative numbers that look suspect. Always ensure you’re calling a number connected directly to your Halifax account or the official banking website-better safe than sorry!

I recently reached out to the Halifax Credit Card Fraud team. I made sure to dial the number listed directly on their official site, specifically at http://www.halifax.co.uk/aboutonline/security/suspicious-phone-calls/ - it’s 0345 602 2160. To confirm, Halifax assured me that 0345 116 8686 is indeed an AUTHENTIC number for their fraud prevention team.

I had my doubts about this, so I rang the number on the back of my card (03457203040) and chatted with an agent. She told me that 03453511686 is a legitimate Halifax number and then connected me to their Fraud Protection line. Sadly, I didn’t get to talk to an actual person! The whole thing was automated and I had to use my phone keypad to respond to questions. Honestly, I’m not a fan of that kind of setup!! My advice: ALWAYS VERIFY FIRST before believing!
