I have online banking with NatWest, and their app is installed on my phone. They know better than to call me from an 0800 number when there are more reliable, and more secure, ways to approach me.

Had a call from this number yesterday. Didn't answer, suspicion already aroused as to why a freephone number would be calling me, I usually would call a freephone number, not vice versa. In fact cannot ever recollect having had a freephone number call me. Searched number & came across this site. Seemingly people or scammers reporting this to be Nat West. So as I have no accounts with Nat West why should they be calling me? I have no idea, but only to confirm my suspicion that this is indeed a phising attempt. Personally I would leave alone & do not pick up.

I received a random call. Caller said she was doing a Nat West Customer Services call. I do not trust or believe in cold calls such as this. My bank, I believe would never do this. I was offered a 'face time call' to discuss my savings Interest rates - really! Nat West ?

The hazelnut is the fruit of the hazel tree, including all nuts of the genus Corylus, especially those of the species Corylus avellana. Hazelnuts are used as a snack food, in baking and desserts, breakfast cereals such as muesli, confectionery, and also in combination with chocolate for chocolate truffles and products such as chocolate bars, Nutella and Frangelico liqueur. Hazelnut oil, pressed from hazelnuts, is strongly flavored and high in monounsaturated fat; it is used as a cooking oil and as a salad or vegetable dressing. Turkey is the world's largest producer of hazelnuts, accounting for 64% of total production in 2021. This photograph shows two whole hazelnuts alongside two kernels, one of which is peeled.

Natwest calling to book my annual review. No personal info requested just when I'd be able to attend. Email received confirming appointment time (from Natwest genuine email & I did not give my address in the call). Scams may clone the phone number but this is a Natwest phone number

Genuine NatWest call. Content of answering-machine message confirms it.

I answered and a foreign sounding voice sounded very distant. My name was not quite right as they read it out, so I suspect this is somebody using data from a data breach to cold call people. Beware.

Had this call and they said it was to book an annual review for my statement, I’ve been with NatWest since I was 16 and not once had this service. Gave no details discconeted the call and I rang NatWest who said it was a scam and they do not offer that service. These people knew my city without me saying a word and told me to ring the back of card! Don’t be fooled

I have read the comments but not sure. If it is legitimate why don't they speak when they call you. My phone rings and when I answer and say hello the line goes dead it is almost like they are testing the lines to see if someone answers or its a company robot

Most of the comments here saying that it is genuine seem to have the same writing style i.e. “definitely Nat West” “100% Nat West”. The email sent after the phone call is to “reassure” you that the call is genuine but is from a dodgy looking email address, [email protected], not Natwest. If they managed to get your number, it wouldn’t be too difficult to get a hold of your email address. The email looked dodgy - don’t click on any of the links. Couldn’t find the LinkedIn of the “Senior Personal Banker” who called. Further down in the comments, it looks like the number was previously used for a PayPal scam and now it’s a new story. DO NOT TRUST.
