I’ve had quite the experience with this number, let me tell you. A couple of days ago, I received a call from a withheld number claiming that there was a £9000 transaction attempting to leave my bank account and whether I had given it the green light. It was clearly a bunch of crooks trying to con me out of a hefty sum. They even sent me a voice note from this very number! Quite alarming, really.

I received a call from this number and, after being prompted to provide various identification details, I chose to decline. I then took the precaution of verifying the number myself and proceeded to contact Nationwide directly. I can confirm that this is indeed a legitimate call from Nationwide, not a scam.

It appears this number belongs to Nationwide Building Society. They've been pestering us relentlessly with calls, likely because our mortgage is set to expire in around five years. Honestly, the sheer number of calls has become rather tiresome, to the point where they seem to linger on the line until the call disconnects on its own.
I think I might just pick up the next time they ring and suggest they send a letter instead, like any reasonable business should. After that, I’ll promptly add them to my blocked list!

I received a call from a lady with an Asian accent claiming to represent the Nationwide Building Society. When I informed her that she had dialled the wrong name and number, she apologised and promptly disconnected. Curiously enough, I had just been in touch with Nationwide earlier that same morning!

I found this to be quite authentic. I was chatting with the complaints department at Nationwide on my mobile when the call suddenly dropped. Just a few moments later, my landline rang, and to my surprise, it was the same representative from Nationwide that I had been communicating with moments before. Quite the coincidence, wouldn’t you say?

I received an electronic message purporting to be from Nationwide, and it even addressed me by my name. When an operator requested some security information, I chose not to provide it.

Exercise caution! It’s wise to refrain from picking up calls from unknown numbers. Instead, let the caller leave a voicemail. A good number won’t bother, particularly if they’re up to no good. It’s also a good practice to document all phone conversations, both incoming and outgoing. The Financial Ombudsman Service and the local courts appreciate having the facts at hand!

I received a call from this number earlier today and couldn't help but notice it had an automated voice remarkably reminiscent of the one used by Nationwide (they're becoming quite clever, aren’t they?). After a bit, the caller switched to a more personal tone, introduced himself, and queried if I had a spare moment to chat. Upon affirming, he promptly began firing off security questions. Thankfully, I had the presence of mind to probe him about the purpose of his call, as something just didn’t sit right with me. I mentioned that I’d been receiving some dodgy calls from +44 numbers lately that left voicemails claiming to be from Nationwide, which made me hesitant to divulge any personal information. The moment I said that, he flipped out and abruptly disconnected the call. Take heed, others! Always interrogate them first and observe how quickly they unravel!

No matter if Nationwide has ever dialled this number, it’s worth noting that scammers have a knack for duplicating it. They often masquerade as, you guessed it—Nationwide themselves.
