08456031755

I called Lloyds to check. They confirmed it's card services, regarding a transaction on my account. If you've received a call and aren't sure, call Lloyds back YOURSELF, you won't be sorry:

"If you think that a fraudster already has your Internet banking details, or that someone other than you has accessed your account online, call us immediately on 0845 3000 116 (+44 20 7649 9437 from overseas).

Mon-Fri 7am-10pm and Sat/Sun 8am-6pm."

not real!! rang the bank to confirm the number belong to lloyds and it doesnt and is now being further looked into, so people DO NOT GIVE ANY DETAILS OVER THE PHONE UNLESS YOU RING LLOYDS THEMSELVES!

If you have any suspicions or you're not comfortable discussing your accounts on an incoming call, I would recommend this:
- Don't divulge any personal information. Politely decline to answer but...
- Ask who the caller represents, the reason why they're calling.

You then have 2 options:
- Ask the caller if they could give the company's general switchboard number on which you can ring back later, you could explain that you're currently in a very public place for example.
Or - Track down the company's contact number yourself; back of your credit/debit card, internet.

Call the company. After going through security (this is a Financial Services Authority required before ANY account specific info back to you, the customer.
If there was a problem on the account, they will transfer you to the department trying to contact you if they can't do so themselves.

Don't take my word that this number was real, for you own peace of mind go and find out for yourselves.

Hope this helps a wee bit.

i received an automated message from this number and called lloyds tsb direct, who confirmed to me that this was their fraud number and transferred me to the fraudline. they confirm that someone has to withdraw money from your account. this is a valid message.

This number phoned me, and left an automated message, which I was dubious about to say the least. So I googled the number and found this site, which, to be honest confused me even more! However, I rang what I believed to be a genuine number for Lloydstsb Fraud Department, and it was confirmed to me that a transaction had been attempted in India. They cancelled the card, and re-assured me that no money had been taken. However, due to the vast quantity of negative comments on here, I was still very unsure. So, I went to the LLoydstsb website, and phoned the number on there. It turns out it was genuine. If you ever get this call, Please please please follow it up and contact lloyds, although I do recommend that you do it directly through a number you already trust (ie - customer services - they will put you through to the relevant deapartment) This way you can feel reassured that you have contacted a genuine number. Please don't be put off by the negative comments on this site.

This number is definitely NOT from lloyds, I went into the bank  and they confirmed it is scammers trying to get your details, the ones posting on here saying it is a legit number are the scammers themselves.

Hi there - I just received an automated message on my phone which asked me to urgently call this number. Like other people here it seemed very suspicious to me.

Having Googled the number and found this site with all the comments, I didn't want to call the number so instead rang Lloyds TSB directly on their 0845 3 000 000 Phonebank number. The person I spoke to confirmed that 08456031755 is the number of the Fraud department, and that they use the automated message as one of the ways of getting in touch with you.

I have just received a call from this number asking for someone uknown to me - I googled the number and have found this site - tried to call back but went through a series of questions only to be told that I cannot speak to them as I am not the account holder - only wanted to advise they have wrong number but am now concerned that it some sort of scam!

Ignored a few calls from this number as I thought it was a scam when I heard it was to do with bank details, but then I tried to use my card online and it declined. Checked this page and it would appear to be genuine, phone them back immediately!

Just called LLoyds direct, as my mum got a voicemail from this number. They have confirmed that it is Card Services Fraud Department.
It's good to be a bit suspicious, but my mum works for Lloyds TSB anyway, so she was unlikely to be fooled.
Glad I checked, and it is a ligitimate number.

I received a call from this number and called the main Lloyds help line. They confirmed it is a Fraud Dep. number, so it is ok.
I also received today (18/06/2009)a call from 0845 602 56 84, and also called Lloyds to check. They did not find this number on the record!

Hi,
I got a call this afternoon and after reading this phoned Lloyds TSB back to check it was them.
This 0845 6031755 is indeed genuine, but if you're in any doubt whatsoever, just say you will prefer to contact their fraud department directly - they won't be offended as they know the importance of making sure you're confident you're dealing with the real company.

hey, just wanted to say the number is right and you can also call on 0846 602 5684 now 24hours, Thankyok all for your nice comments, just browsing the internet and noticed this forum, i work at lloyds tsb fraud prevention, so thanks :D we do do a stressfull job, nice to hear some good feedback from customers

Hi. Iv just had a missed call from this... i looked up on here to see if it was real. I then called my bank (Lloyds TSB) and they comfirmed it was a real number and it was their fraud departments. Eben though they saw no unusual activity they urged me to call them. So I did, it was an automated service, and I listened to their instructions and entered my details. It then gives you a list of your five last transactions and asks you to comfirm you made them. I had made the transactions and they simply said ok. The reason it was unusual activity was because I tried the same transaction over and over. But I kept entering the wrong digit by accident. Its definatly legitimate. The guy at the bank told me the conversation with him was being recoreded and if the line was not real then... because he had advised me to call it and hand over details... i could take him to court if it wasnt real.

All in all a real number. But its always nice to check it out to be sure :)

I hung up first, then called back aftewr reading comments here.  Has to be genuine otherwise they wouldn't have got the last 4 transactions correct.

It was a genuine call from Lloyds tsb to check if i tried to use my card on an online purchase.Got confused with few reports above.Do attend the call or if u have missed it call up the customer service urself.

I got a call from this number. It is from Lloyds TSB and is legit. It is an automated service, some sort of fraud prevention department. Just follow the instructions and have a statement or a list of things you bought lately using your card handy so you can confirm you made all the transactions it asks.

I got a call late last night and thought it a fraud. I got another this morning. I called Lloyds TSB using the bank's standard call centre number - 0845 3 000 000 - where the person I spoke to confirmed that the number 0845 603 1755 is a genuine department at Lloyds Bank.

On calling this number and jumping through a few hoops, I found my card had been compromised, with someone attempting to make a large payment (thousands of pounds) from a company I've never dealt with. Lloyds had cancelled this anyway, but have now also cancelled my card and sent another.

For the doubters on this thread, more fool you. To the people claiming they've contacted Lloyds and this is a scam, or people like me are scammers, you are liars and are being hugely unhelpful. If I'd listened to you, I'd have lost more than a month's wages in one fell swoop.

If you get a call like this and are sceptical, there's a simple solution - call 0845 3 000 000 to confirm the validity of the number. If your situation is anything like mine, you'll be very grateful that you did.

Call is Legit, Got call this morning and call Lloyds straight back they confirmed this is their fraud number. spoke to Fraud dept who confirmed some suspiscious transactions on my account. Luckily they were all ones I'd authorised but really glad Lloyds are co on the ball.

It is a legitimate number I just called back.  For example, it asks for your birthday but gives you 4 totally random years to choose from and one of them will be yours. At no point do you enter ANY address or card info.  They also know the info of your last 5 transactions which a scammer wouldnt.

Anyway I called them back, everything fine - peace of mind!
