08001615163 Summary (Read all comments)

Phone number ☎️ 08001615163 👆 is reported as a contentious number linked to NatWest and RBS fraud prevention teams, with many confirming it as genuine for verifying suspicious transactions or providing one-time passcodes during online payments. However, numerous users warn of scams involving spoofing or cloned numbers nearly identical to the authentic one, with calls often featuring automated messages urging for sensitive card details, sometimes at odd hours. Some recipients without NatWest accounts have reported unsolicited contact, indicating scam activity. The consensus is to never provide full card details during such calls and always verify by contacting NatWest directly using the number on the back of your card. Exercise caution, remain vigilant, and report suspicious activity promptly to your bank or authorities.

Turns out it really was NatWest. I dialled the number on the back of my card to check and they confirmed the text was legit. When I told them that the number shows up as a scam on loads of sites, they just said “Yeah, that's probably what you'd get if you looked up our main customer service number as well”. Quite funny, actually.

I got a call from NatWest MasterCard with a one-time code when I was trying to buy something online. They gave me this number to ring if there was any issue. I felt a bit iffy though because I didn’t recognise the second number they said to send the code to. So, I rang NatWest myself using the number on the back of my card and found out that the other number was actually my old work phone number from about 20 years ago. Everything turned out fine but like others have mentioned, you really need to be cautious and keep your wits about you.

This number called me and said they were from Nat West. They gave me a code while I was making a purchase online. We had an arrangement with the bank, and they told me you can pick how they reach you. They do warn you during checkout when you’re paying online. It’s for added security, like confirming it’s really me since the code needs to be entered to finalise the payment on my credit card.

I received a phone message providing me with a unique authorization code for a payment associated with NatWest. It should be noted that the number they called does not belong to any NatWest bank account, nor do I have one. It is worth mentioning that the phone number 01268 508 154 closely resembles the genuine NatWest bank number, which may deceive some individuals. However, it is important to clarify that this number is not legitimate. Furthermore, they provided an alternative option to call, which is 0800 1615163. My advice would be to avoid calling this number as well.

We rang the number printed on the back of our Visa card since we didn’t want to rely on being told who to call, as it’s hard to know if it’s legit or a scam. Visa told us that because the amount was over £1000, extra security checks were needed, and since our landline was registered, it automatically went through that. After passing the security check, we managed to re-book without any problems. When we asked about the number, they said it’s a trustworthy one, but calling the number on your card is the safest way to be sure.

I received a call at 1.15am, but there was no message left. Curiosity got the better of me, so I decided to return the call. However, all I heard was an automated message claiming to be from the fraud team. They requested me to enter my 16-digit card number. It seems suspicious to me because, if it were genuinely the fraud team, they would have asked for additional security questions rather than the entire card number. Furthermore, I'm annoyed that they chose to call at such an inconvenient hour. If it were truly the fraud team, they could have called earlier in the evening when my housemate only used her card for dinner.

Got a call at 1.15 in the morning but no message left. When I dialled back, there was an automated voice saying something like “Welcome to the fraud department, please enter your 16-digit card number.” They didn’t say which bank or ask any security questions. Seemed fishy since banks usually ask for the last 4 digits of your card first.

I received a call on a temporary phone that I hadn't used for 9 months. The call was quite late, so I decided to call the number back. It was the same person who answered, claiming to be from the fraud team of RBS Natwest. I politely asked for the postal address of their bank team, but he responded by telling me to go away in an impolite manner. He said that without my details, he couldn't proceed with the investigation. It's quite shocking how they can behave like this, but I suppose they want us to be in such a state of confusion when they call us! It makes you wonder about their conscience.

This number rings our home phone every day and often rings three times on weekends too. When you answer and don’t say anything, you can occasionally hear just heavy breathing and some quiet noises in the background. If you’re into creepy silent callers, this might be your thing! Otherwise, best to stay quiet and just hang up. We don’t have any way to block calls yet, so it’s hard to just ignore.
