Reports on phone number 08000729779
2 yearsGot an email that looked like it was from Halifax, but there were no actual account details in it - just the last bit of my postcode. Honestly, I reckon it's one of the smarter scams I've come across, feels kinda dangerous because of how convincing it was. The ending of the email included loads of what seemed like genuine bank info, like references to Lloyds branches and mentioning H as connected to Bank of Scotland. There were plenty of phone numbers, links and stuff that looked real enough to make you want to double-check.HalifaxLloydsBank of Scotland2 yearsLooks like a legit Halifax phone number.Halifax2 yearsSeems like they’re making a comeback with the same scam. Got an email claiming to be from Halifax PLC asking if we wanted to switch to paperless statements. We already have that set up, plus the account number they mentioned wasn’t ours at all. If you get a message like this, make sure to double check the account number first.HalifaxPLC3 yearsJust a basic list really.4 yearsThis is the legit Halifax customer service phone. I found it straight on the official Halifax site, so you can ring them up directly.Halifax4 yearsThis person kept going on and said “you might doubt we’re legit but”. My tip? Just hang up straight away. Don’t share any info.4 yearsGot a call from someone pretending to be Halifax bank - total scam!Halifax4 yearsYeah, this number is definitely from Halifax Bank. I phoned their customer service about something usual and they asked me if I was okay with them sending an automated call to get feedback on how things went. The call came from this number and you had to press keys to rate how useful the adviser was and stuff like that. So if others here got scammy calls from this number, maybe it’s been compromised somehow. Not really sure what rating to give it here, so I’m gonna go with ‘Neutral’.Halifax Bank4 yearsSomeone rang me pretending to be from Halifax bank. As soon as I told them I’d ring Halifax myself, they just hung up.Halifax4 yearsGetting loads of calls pretending to be from Lloyds bank. Definitely spam.Lloyds4 yearsTotally a scam, part two of some bigger con. I fall for it and my bank got cleaned out. Now there’s no way to get the cash back cause of how they pulled it off.4 yearsTotally a clever scam. When I mentioned the number might be faked and said I'd ring back, they just cut me off. Seemed polite but was really persistent. Watch out for these ones, they can be tricky.4 yearsSomeone rang saying they were from Lloyds Bank and told me there was some dodgy activity on my card. They then asked me to visit a branch and kept pressing about what time and which one.Lloyds Bank4 yearsSantander fraud team called me about some dodgy transactions showing up from Aberdeen, including one from Mothercare.SantanderAberdeenMothercare4 yearsSomeone said they were from the Halifax fraud team, sounded like they were calling through some satellite connection, and wanted my bank info. I just ended the call right away.Fraud SquadHalifax5 yearsCalled me four times in just ten minutes using two different numbers. Both have been checked, reported, and blocked. Total scam, bloody annoying!5 years+448000729779 called me, I didn’t pick up but looked the number up and it’s a scam. When I rang back, someone pretended to be from Halifax.Halifax5 yearsThey got my credit card info. Lucky for me, I’d already used up that cash.5 yearsSomeone said they were from Halifax, needing me to verify purchases on my account. Feels like a dodgy scam to me.Halifax5 yearsSaid they were from Halifax but total SCAM!!!Halifax5 yearsTotal bank fraud, they'll just rob you and leave you with zilch.5 yearsGot a call from 08000729779 saying they were from Halifax. They already knew our name and landline number, then asked for our address, saying they’d stopped some suspicious activity on Amazon and M&S. It felt dodgy, so I said I’d check with the bank myself. They got a bit rude and said “that’s not how it works.” I got two more calls before I could ring up the bank, but I just hung up and blocked the number. When I finally spoke to my bank, they had no clue about any of it. Definitely a SCAM. Watch out!!HalifaxAmazonMarks & Spencer5 yearsGot a call from someone saying they were from Halifax. They asked for my security info, saying my account had been hacked and all the money taken out. Said they needed the details to send a replacement card. I called Halifax directly while still on the phone with them and they confirmed it was a scam.Halifax5 yearsClaimed to be with Halifax, but when I said I’m not a customer with them, they started getting really rude.Halifax5 yearsTotal rip off!5 yearsThis number is shown on the Halifax website. Got texts pretending to be from Hermes. A scammer rang me saying there was suspicious activity on my Halifax account. Told me money was being moved to a foreign person and even some into my daughter’s account. Found this site and it made me realise it was a scam. The caller kept being pushy, trying to get me to send money. Halifax have confirmed it's definitely a scam.HalifaxHermes5 yearsBarclays Bank were proper pushy, kept me on the line and wouldn't let me hang up.Barclays Bank5 yearsThey claimed to be from Halifax bank. Told me there was some fraud going on in Liverpool. They already had my info and accessed my online banking.Halifax BankLiverpool5 yearsGot called from a different number before and it was the same bloke. I got caught up in a Halifax scam after handing over my info to some dodgy site. When i called them out, they started threatening me. Just watch out for these lot.Halifax5 yearsSome bloke called saying he was from the Halifax fraud team, asking if I’d made payments in Liverpool. I played along cos I knew he was dodgy. He reckoned I was being sarcastic, so I told him I'd ring back after I got his name and department. Then I just ended the call and blocked the number.HalifaxLiverpool5 yearsSounds like one of those bank fraud calls to me.5 yearsGot a call claiming it was Halifax Bank about suspicious activity on my account, asking me how much money I have in there. I ended the call and rang the bank myself, they said they hadn’t called me. Turns out there was a dodgy attempt to withdraw money, but it got refused and the bank said they’d get in touch to confirm the amount in my account. Sounds like a scammer trying to get info.Halifax Bank5 yearsSaid they were from Halifax fraud team. Might know their tech stuff, but clueless about everything else.Halifax5 yearsGot two calls from them back to back tonight, didn’t pick up either time.5 yearsJunk calls!5 yearsScammers pretending to be from different banks warning about fraud alerts.5 years08000729778 is an Amazon Prime scam, really clever stuff. I was trying to cancel an Amazon Prime account I hadn’t signed up for. They seemed so helpful and even refunded me £79, but then claimed they’d accidentally sent £7999 to my account and told me to send it back. Thankfully, Halifax blocked the transaction. When I rang Halifax, they explained the scammers just moved money from my savings to my current account to trick me into thinking Amazon paid me. I said I’d sort it at the bank next morning, and they just laughed and hung up. Watch out for this one!AmazonHalifax5 yearsThey said money was taken from my account but nothing at all was taken. Just block the number and forget about it.5 yearsThey claimed to be from Halifax and said someone had been using my debit card without my permission.Halifax5 yearsSaid they were from Lloyd's fraud team or sumthin but I’ve never had any dealings with them.Lloyd ' s5 yearsGot a call from someone pretending to be Bank of Scotland, total scam!Bank of Scotland5 yearsGot a call from Halifax, but it definitely wasn’t who they said they were.Halifax5 yearsSomeone said they were from Halifax fraud team. They brought up the same two direct debit tries (Vodafone and life insurance) that others have talked about here. It all seemed a bit off. When I said that, they told me to check the number, which actually shows up on Halifax’s site. Luckily, I’d heard recently how easy it is to fake caller IDs, so I wasn’t falling for it. They tried to get me to confirm my address but I didn’t give them any info.HalifaxVodafone5 yearsTotal bank scam, they already had all my details like my account number and sort code before i'd told them anything. Very believable but dodgy as hell, tried to buy £250 of bitcoins. They claimed to be from the fraud team and even put me on hold to "check with Halifax customer service about cancelling my card and sending a new one." COMPLETE SCAMMERS AND JUST DISGUSTING PEOPLE.Halifax5 yearsSomeone rang saying they were from Halifax fraud team and already had my sort code plus last 4 digits of my account number. They asked me to log into my online banking so they could guide me through protecting my funds. They sounded pretty believable, even asked if I’d fallen for any recent scams involving the post office or Royal Mail (which I had). But the call quality was really sketchy, so I ended up hanging up.HalifaxRoyal Mail5 yearsGot a call from someone claiming to be Halifax, definitely a scam. Just blocked the number as soon as I realised.HalifaxBest5 yearsGot a scam call claiming to be from Halifax.Halifax5 yearsSomeone saying they're from Halifax building society rang me about fraud on my account, which I was kinda expecting. They asked for my date of birth, how many cards I own, and the balance on the card. Then after saying to hold on, they just cut the call.Halifax Building Society5 yearsSomeone said they were from Halifax and asked me to verify my name, then quoted the last 4 digits of my account number - which was spot on. Then they asked if I knew about a payment to Vodafone for £25 and another to Aviva health insurance for £52. I just ended the call and they tried ringing me again. Felt really sketchy to me.HalifaxVodafoneAviva5 yearsHe claimed to be from my bank’s fraud department, definitely a scam.5 yearsSo it turns out it was someone claiming to be from Lloyds Bank. It got really dodgy when he started asking for my mum’s account details to move my money over. When mum said no and questioned him, he just hung up instantly.Lloyd β s Bank5 yearsSaid they were from Lloyds fraud dept.Lloyds5 yearsThis bloke claimed to be from the Halifax Fraud Dept, saying someone had taken a loan out with my details. He then gave me a weird sort code and account number, telling me to shift my money there. I just hung up straight away.Halifax Fraud Squad5 yearsGot a call from 08000729779 saying they were from Halifax after I got a text from +44 7458 114572 about a £300 payment to Argos on 1/3. Honestly, dont trust it at all, its a total scam.HalifaxArgos5 yearsSCAM ALERT! This bloke claimed he was calling from Barclays fraud team, saying there had been loads of tries to use my card in Scotland today, plus a direct debit set up and a standing order for £350 to a car finance firm or something. He said they were gonna shut my account down and open a new one for me. I told him I’d already closed my Barclays account and switched to a different bank. He got all confused and stammered about how weird it was, then just hung up. Sounded like a young English guy - total scammer. Watch out, folks!BarclaysScotland5 yearsSome bloke said he was from hx bank and asked me to verify my info, saying someone had tried to buy something from argos for £250 in liverpool - he even mentioned my town which was a bit unsettling. When I asked for his staff ID, he just hung up. I rang the bank afterwards and they confirmed it was a scam.HX BankArgosLiverpool5 yearsThey ring up saying your account’s been compromised and then push you to send cash to a Barclays account, number 53941346, sort code 20-11-81, under the name ‘Miss Samantha Puttock’. It’s a Barclays account they want you to shift money into from your Halifax account! Just watch out for this one and make sure older folks don’t get caught out.BarclaysSamantha PuttockHalifax5 yearsThey said it was Barclays and mentioned some transactions in Coventry for £165. Then they asked if I had a different account with Halifax and wanted my info. Definitely steer clear of them!BarclaysCoventryHalifax5 yearsSomeone pretending to be from Halifax called me saying they’d arranged direct debits using my details.Halifax5 yearsThis number 08000729779 keeps ringing me constantly, and when I looked it up, it says it’s Halifax. Really frustrating as I didn’t pick up but it kept buzzing on and off.Halifax5 years08000729779 claims to be Halifax Bank but trust me, it’s a scam and not to be trusted. I’ve already reported it to the Halifax fraud team and they’re checking it out. Best to just ignore the call.Halifax BankHalifax5 yearsThis bloke said he was from my bank’s fraud team and wanted me to transfer my money to a new account he claimed was opened under my name. When I told him I wasn’t keen and would ring the bank myself to confirm, he began getting quite irate.5 yearsA woman said she was with the halifax fraud department. I contacted halifax myself and they said it wasnt them ringing, so its defo a scam. The lady claimed there was suspicious activity on my account and that she'd made a separate account under a fake name so the scammers wouldn't spot it was mine. She told me to transfer all money from my accounts to this "new" one and if i needed to prove it, to say to halifax that it was sent to a mate. Do NOT trust this number!!! Total scam!!!Halifax6 yearsJust like everyone else, got a call from this number and it was the same story. Not sure who it is but seems like one of those annoying marketing calls. Wouldn’t bother answering again.6 yearsLoads of calls from different people asking me to verify a payment supposedly made in Scotland. When I said yes, I had made it, the caller then mentioned a whole bunch more, including one for pornhub. I told them to stop ringing me, but then the bloke said he knew where I lived and threatened to send someone round if I didn’t answer his bloody questions, even gave my postcode. No idea how they got hold of that info.ScotlandPornhub6 yearsGot a call claiming to be from Halifax fraud team. They said there was a payment made online with my card today. Thing is, my card was cancelled just the day before because of fraud. Then the person asked me to open my banking app and look for any suspicious activity. That set alarm bells ringing. No legit company will ever ask you to do that. I just ended the call. Watch out, folks.Halifax6 yearsGot scammed and ended up losing about £1200.6 yearsI got a call from a guy called Spencer saying he was from Halifax fraud, asking for my 6 digit code because apparently someone tried to open a dd in my name. Told him I’d ring back but he kept saying he’d phone me at 1pm - which, surprise surprise, never happened.SpencerHalifax6 yearsSimilar experience here, a young woman who sounded quite polite but a bit inexperienced and nervous, claimed she was calling from Halifax Fraud. She said my account had been seriously hacked and I needed to change it immediately. She then said a new account was being created for me, and at one point asked me to open my banking app and transfer money to a new payee. Honestly, this number feels EXTREMELY RISKY, so watch out!Halifax Fraud6 yearsScammer pretending to be from Halifax telling me there were two direct debits taken from my account ending in xxx. I told them that's rubbish, I shut that account nearly a month ago. Never share your info!Halifax6 yearsSome bloke with a black accent rang me claiming he was from the fraud team at Halifax. He wasn’t very clear about it so I just ended the call. How on earth did he get hold of my number?Halifax6 yearsGot a call from someone claiming to be Halifax, sounded dodgy so I just hung up. Definitely ring up Halifax fraud team on their official number if you get the same!Halifax6 yearsI just rang Halifax and they told me it was a scam, saying they’d never phone up asking for my account details.Halifax6 yearsShowed up as Halifax scam, so definitely steer clear of this number!Halifax6 yearsDodgy number alert 08000729779. They tryin to pose as Halifax Bank to con u. Beware!Halfix6 yearsI got a call from 0800 072 9779 saying they were from the Halifax fraud team. They already had my name, address and account info, which was a bit worrying. They asked about my last transaction and balance. I fibbed about just having one account, and they seemed to believe it! That’s when I knew it was dodgy. When I wouldn’t give them the info they wanted, they asked about other banks I use. They’ve rung me two times in the last half hour, different bloke each time but same number and same questions. Definitely a scam.Halifax6 yearsJust got a call with all my info, too. Totally agree with what's been said here.6 yearsGot a call from someone claiming to be Halifax, but it seemed dodgy to me. Wouldn't trust them at all.Halifax6 yearsI got a call from a woman with a British accent claiming to be from the Halifax fraud team. She said there were two dodgy transactions - one for £200 and another for £400 - on my account from online shopping. She insisted I had to transfer my money to some “safeguarding account” straight away. When I asked for her name, she said it was Stephanie Johns and even gave me a case number to make it seem legit. I told her I’d call Halifax myself and ask them to connect me to her. She was pretty polite but kept pushing. I ended the call, then rang Halifax and they confirmed it was a scam.HalifaxStephanie Johns6 yearsGot a call from a woman speaking English, saying she was from the Halifax fraud dept. She tried the same trick twice, once back in June and again just today. Claimed there were two big direct debits set to come out tonight and asked if I’d set up payments for some car firm in Scotland. Then she told me to move my money quickly. I wasn’t fooled either time. Told her exactly what I thought - absolute scum tryna rip folks off. Checked with Halifax afterwards and yep, it was a total scam. Please don’t ever share your details with anyone, your bank would never ask for that stuff.HalifaxScotland6 yearsToday I got a call off a woman claiming she was from Halifax, telling me there was some dodgy activity on my bank account. She said loads of money had been taken out and that I needed to open a new account to transfer the rest in smaller chunks, like £1100, £1600 and so on, to keep it safe. Before I knew it, she had managed to get £3600 off me. As soon as I hung up, I got a bit suspicious and called Halifax myself, who told me it definitely wasn’t them calling. Felt daft for falling for it so fast, but it was pretty convincing.Halifax6 yearsI got a call from 0800 072 9779, with a bloke speaking in a black accent claiming to be from the fraud team at Halifax bank. He said there was a suspicious purchase flagged on my account, supposedly from Argos within the last 30 minutes, and asked if it was me. Then he went on to ask for my full card number and expiry date! Do NOT hand over any of your info to these people - it’s 100% a scam. Just sharing what happened to me.HalifaxArgos6 yearsSomeone called my husband pretending to be from Halifax. They said there was suspicious activity on his bank account and asked if he knew the balance. Then, they wanted his date of birth and the last three digits of our postcode. Weirdly, every time they asked a question, the call would suddenly drop. They phoned him back a few times, but that’s when I figured out it was a scam.Halifax6 yearsGot a call from someone claiming to be from Halifax, asking me to verify my balance and then telling me to shift money into a supposedly “new and secure” account. Loads of folks seem to be getting tricked by this and losing cash. Sadly, if you hand over your info and move funds, the real bank won’t be able to assist you afterwards. Just a heads up - no genuine bank will ring you out of the blue asking for your details or telling you to move money anywhere!Halifax6 yearsThis call was definitely a scam pretending to be Halifax. Don't fall for it!Halifax6 yearsGot a call from someone pretending to be Halifax bank trying to scam me, so watch out for this fraud!Halifax6 yearsJust got hit with a total scam, feels like a dodgy fraud to me. Such a crime!6 yearsThis number has rang me a couple of times but I didn’t answer, does anyone know who it belongs to?Submit Your Own Report (0800 072 9779)
