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.

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.

I was called around the same time as I had a NatWest related query so the other responses here made me think it may have been valid. However, they only called me for a few seconds, hung up and didn’t leave a message. My query was actually dealt with online and I’ve had no further calls from this number. So although it may be a legit NatWest number, the behaviour is suspicious.

Missed the call and spotted that it started by a +44 (calling from overseas) and then the number. No message left. My research brought me to this website and I called NatWest on their secured network line 159. All calls are logged against the customer name and this wasn't one of them. Was told to be very cautious and to block number if calls persist.

This is a scam, my mum received an email from PayPal saying she had a request for £1099 from her account from a woman called Mary- she then opened her app and it said the same, she rang the number and was on the phone to an Indian/Asian man, I was t convinced it was legit but she thought it was due to it being through the app, she give him her card number and he sent texts to her phone asking to confirm the transaction and told her it was to confirm she reported it, I googled the number to come across this website, I told her and she put the phone down then got a lot of calls from no caller ID, and they hacked into her sainsburys credit card and took over it, we are currently trying to contact sainsburys bank to resolve this. Awful and very convincing, please be careful and ignore these calls.

I had a payment request for 499.89 via PayPal with the the following message from Lisa Guntry and it was a fraud alert, that £499.89 had been debited from my account and to call this number. Went onto PayPal and sure enough there was a payment request for £499.89 which I had to approve or decline. Got the opinion these scammers are very smart to first warn me about a fraudulent request then actually request the money??

Definitely a genuine call from NatWest, offering a financial health check. If you ask their name they’d be happy for you to pop into their branch and speak with you face to face. Or if you wanted to book an appointment they offer you a video call over zoom or an in branch appointment 👍 definitely legit

Caller left a voicemail message (I didn't pick up the phone) offering Natwest financial check, gave a colleagues name & mobile number if I wanted to set up a meeting. I don't require any assistance at this time but feel it would be easy to do reverse security when calling back to ensure it is your bank calling.

It’s spoofed the number. The actual natwest number is correct but when they call it’s not them. Anyone saying it’s genuine is part of the scam. THIS IS NOT NATWEST when they call you. If you call it back as it’s spoofed you get NatWest. Do not give them any details or answer. There are other ways that your genuine bank can contact you, ask them to do this.

They called private first time so I asked him to call me using NatWest number. Then he called using this number, so I searched the number so I got to this page. I guess it’s a scam I’m pretty sure NatWest won’t call to discuss what benefits you can get using your account.
