Genuine number, I tried to pay a bill over £1,000 on my debit card and it rang to ask if it was genuine. A good system, don't knock it.

This number is genuine!!

Had a call from this number saying they were from llyods tsb but I was a bit suspicious so I hung up and called directly. When I contacted them they had said somebody had tried to withdraw cash from my card in New York city but it was declined. They immediately cancelled the card and re-issued me a new one. Glad my bank were on the ball. Will have to be more careful with store and online purchases.

I don't trust a single person saying this number is genuine. Every single website I've visited regarding this number starts off exactly the same: "I've had unsolicited calls from this number", followed by a couple of people who've had similar experiences. Then the "no, it's real, I'm glad I paid attention to it" and "if in doubt phone the main number" posts start showing up.
Me personally? I got 4 missed calls from this number within the space of 5 minutes (was in a meeting). I phoned back, got the whole 'press 1 if this is correct, enter your date of birth' spiel, then was put through to a phone that just kept on ringing and ringing (which as I later discovered had a different 'thankyou for waiting' message than the real BT fraud prevention line). There was no answer, so I hung up.
I then went directly to my bank, who said there were no anomalies with my account transactions, that nothing was flagged on their systems. Still, to make double-sure, I googled the number. The only results are fraud results, and they all follow the exact same format as this page. I trust the sceptics a lot more than these posts which all follow the same format of "no, it's real, if you don't trust it, phone this number".
Psychology of a con-artist would say that these posts are a confidence trick. A bluff. A way to get people to doubt these genuine concerns. They work under the assumption that you'll read all these posts saying it's real, gain your trust, and trick you into trusting giving your information out to this number. They use these stories (which I'm 98% sure are fake) of their own personal financial loss, which is enough to scare anyone who's worried into complying with the scam.
People saying that this is a genuine Lloyds TSB number are likely the exact same people who are phoning you from this number, and they are not from Lloyds TSB.

Lloyds TSB would NEVER ask for the 3 numbers on the back of the card.
A scam-artist, on the other hand, would find those 3 numbers incredibly useful, as it's the last piece of your personal information they need to start making transactions in your name.

GENUINE call...Please don't ignore it! This is LloydsTsb checking on transactions on your account for fraud purposes. Thankfully, the flagged transactions were all ones I had made, but excellent of Lloyds to check up on this.

Definately Lloyds TSB fraud unit, confirmed by bank. A£393 restaurant bill charged to my account GREEDY in both sense of the word

I have had at least six calls today from this number for a person who has never been a resident in my home and I cannot get trough to them as the message is from a voice mail.

Genuine automated LLoyds TSB fraud line. They just want to check some transactions with you - for example i booked a cmaping trip and because it was something i had never purchased from before they called immediately and listed my last 3 transactions. They do not ask for any account info just the number they called you on and bits of your date of birth.

Your cynicism does you credit, Nate, but this IS a 100% genuine Lloyds TSB number.

However, the point is well made that if you have any reservations at all, DON'T enter any information when prompted by an automated call and just contact your bank directly. They will let you know immediately if anything is awry and it can be dealt with quickly and securely. But one way or the other, you SHOULD contact your bank.

I'm not doubting anything Nate has said about his own experience - it's possible that fraudsters have cottoned on to this anti-fraud service that Lloyds and other banks have been providing and started masking their own scam lines behind genuine numbers (this is easily done, telemarketers do it all the time), so always be vigilant, even if you trust the number.  

If the call is genuinely from your bank, they will not ask you for any card details whatsoever.

had 2 calls from this number on my land line. its a bank holiday Monday and banks DO NOT CALL then. no bank will ever ask for personal information over the phone. If unsure of a number don't answer it!

This is a genuine telephone call from LTSB fraud department I received several of these automated messages yesterday and was suspicious that it may be some sort of scam so I contacted LTSB customer services. Several attempts had been used to purchase items using my debit card details which the bank had declined. Apparently this automated message is a result of an alert when unusual activity is detected in your account.
Contact customer services immediately to get this sorted .

I have just had my debit card stopped as a result of alleged fruad activity on my account..
I only found this out when the company with whom I'd done a phone transaction contacted me to say the payement had been stopped..
Lloyds did not attempt to contact me & I had to go through the Helpline, who were helpful, noted my complaint & put me onto what was supposed to be 'Card Fraud' but it turned out to be 'Debit payement Disputes' or something!! I tried to get some sense out of the poor non-English speaker who said he would put me onto 'Fraud' , where I was kept hanging for 20 minutes, with no response.. ( I suspect it was a cash-generating premium rate number...) So I rang back AGAIN & the Helpline refused to give me a direct-dial no. for the Fraud Dept.. & again put me onto a hanging line.. )
I will try this number to see if it yields any results..!!

I had a missed call from this number and a voicemail was left asking me to call back regarding my Lloyds bank account and fraud. I called the number but it was an automated service asking me for my bank details so I thought best to contact Lloyds on their general enquiries number first. They confirmed the number was from their fraud department and that someone had cloned my card and there was money being taken out in America! Don't ignore it if you have a call from this number as it's likely fraudulent activity is taking place on your bank account!

This was a genuine call from Lloyds Bank about suspcicious transactions on my card in Vietnam. The bank had already declined the transactions so no money was debited from my account, but a quick call to cancel my card and get it reissued was all that was required.

Seem none the wiser having phoned Lloyds to check out a stream of calls from this number.

I met a friend through Facebook, according to him he willing to give me a hug of money worth 350,000 thousand dollar. I know him as HENRY BOOTH, german national, 1 day ahead  I receive a call from 1 employee of Lloyds tsb bank Rebecca Ann she call me using that number, she also sent me email with application form attachment asking to kindly fill up the paper, she also ask me to provide some document to immediate transfer account of Mr Henry booth, as I believe I provide some document needed.the bank base in Malaysia. But it's definitely scammers, fraudsters after I provide all the man also gone.

I woke up to find an automated message saying it was from Lloyds Bank. I didn't reply to that number but called the Lloyds number on my bank statement. After being put through to the fraud department it seems someone had tried to withdraw money three times from my account while I was still in bed!

Got a call from Lloyd's tsb  asking me personal question.  It was Lloyds fraud dept They said that some one has just made a payment which they blocked.  It was me that made the payment and I was more than pissed off that they blocked the payment.  But at the end of the day they are only protecting THIER money.

If you are not sure ask for their number and call them back.

I called Lloyds using the number on my card and it turns out it was their number for their fraud line. So it is safe.

5th Dec 2013: a very authentic sounding recorded message said they were Lloyds...asked me to key in my date of birth as they had noticed some unusual activity with my account.....hmmm I don't think so
