I received a call from this number luckily I ignored them as I don’t answer calls I don’t recognise. I then received an automated voicemail (which does sound very good) asking me to call back on the number. About 1/2 hour earlier I received a text messages informing me that they had cancelled a card payment to Amazon. They provided my last 4 digits of my card number, my full name. I called my bank who said the text was genuine and sent from my bank but the phone call was a scam. Apparently they tried to use my card on a different occasion but the bank stopped payment. I’ve now cancelled my card and have a new one on order. Be very careful who you speak to, if in doubt don’t answer and call your bank direct.

Despite what others have said, I think it is genuine. I received a couple of calls from this number which my phone flagged up as potential spam, so I ignored them. I then received an automated voicemail asking me to call back on this number. About the same time, I received a couple of text messages informing me that they had cancelled a card payment to a local business. They provided the company name and the last 4 digits of my card number, so obviously not a phishing attempt. I believe Lloyds/Halifax/Bank of Scotland (soon to be rationalized under the Lloyds brand) have been very active on potential fraud lately. The transaction in question was an automatic subscription renewal.
Sent two text messages late at night claiming to be Halifax bank. Called in the morning and I did not answer. Two separate numbers used.
Same as above asked if I made an insurance payment then said they would call me the next day despite claiming my bank would not call me
Claimed to be Halifax. I ignored it and deleted all messages
Called saying they were Halifax, I hung up right away. Also got a text from a mobile number saying the same thing
Claiming to be Lloyds bank regarding a card payment. Definitely a scam
Pretended to be my bank asking about a transaction for fraud seeking my birth date. Scammer
Claim to be bank.of scotland..automated message did not respond
Automated voice supposedly from my bank I ended call there and then my bank would never ring like this .
They claimed to be Halifax Bank wanting to query some possibly fraudulent transactions on my card. I hung up.
