Legitimate
27 Mar 2023

Natwest calling me to say someone had handed my cash card in which I must have lost last night, This number is definitely legit, but maybe Natwest also use it for marketing?

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??

It's a scam. And shame on the people who are saying it's genuine. You should earn your own money rather than steal from others, such scummy behaviour
