Yes its genuine!! I had one this morning so I rang LLoyds back on the web site phone number and it is a genuine number- they stopped my account/card as I paid for something on paypal and they thought it suspicious... but all sorted out now- think its  a routine thing.

is tsb automated services trying to comfirm last 4 transactions glad they called cse could ave been scamed for hundreds of pounds.

I got three calls from this number yesterday for someone of a different name....... I dont have an account with the bank supposed to be calling me so I dont know what to do.  I have just hung up each time they call

This is definitely NOT a scam. This is an automatic call generated by unusual spending patterns on your debit card. In my case it was caused by fairly large trasactions taking my account over my overdraft limit. A visit to the bank showed £850 worth of fraudulant transactions which they are now going to recover. IGNORE THIS CALL AT YOUR PERIL.

This number is lloyds bank, I called the bank to check and they put me through, it seems son was using my card to buy games online while I was sleeping. Phone this number it could save you some money.  Very impressed with LLoyds tsb they are really on the ball with this.

I am very suspicious of any automated message, but this one is genuine.  I had my doubts, so went to the Lloyds website and called customer services from there. If you have a Lloyds account I recommend you do the same, contact them independently of this and any other number listed in these messages. They immediately put me through to the correct department to confirm an unusual transaction on the credit card.  The very nice lady told me that if I hadn't called, the card would be cancelled.  I think Lloyds are great for acting so quickly, just a shame they chose a method that so many annoying people use by sending an automated message in the evening!  Thanks to all who posted who alerted me to this.

Yes it is a genuine number, although I was quite dubious when I received 3 missed calls and an automated message. I called the 0845 3000 number which I trusted and they put me through to the anti fraud number.  What had happened was that I had put down a lot of money for a flat deposit and tried to get some new things ordered to my new address. As the address didn't match up with the billing address, Lloyds fraud squad queried it. Nice to know that they are looking out for my pennies!!!

Got the call from 08456031755 on my mobile from purportedly Lloyds TSB with a urgent call back requested.
On call back electronic instruction was given that they are connecting to someone to deal with this which will take a few seconds. after a couple of further messages and possibly 2 minutes later I hung up.
Question; Did I give the bank my mobile number? Ans: No!

I received several annoying calls from this bank on this number,it was a nuisance,so I rang TSB and spoke to 6 people to try to get it stopped,but they all said they couldn`t help even though it was genuinely a Lloyds number.Eventually got put through to someone from the fraud department,but he was more useless than the others,showing no concern about the problem and not doing anything about it.Why do they employ such people?I DON`T EVEN HAVE AN ACCOUNT WITH LLOYDS TSB!!!No way would I trust my money with this bank.Solution was simple,I reported it to the Police and Ofcom as a nuisance call.Not heard from them since.

The trouble is that the phone message sounds very false when it says 'for prevention'. Surely most English people would say 'fraud prevention' or 'scam prevention' or something? To use the word 'prevention' on its own sounds like one of those foreign scams from people who are not native speakers.

However, upon looking at this page, I rang the phonebank number. I had ordered some books from Amazon - about five books for relatives in France and about the same number of cheap marketplace books for myself from several different sellers. Lloyds decided to block the last one, from Amazon itself. My order was not enormous - no bigger than orders I've made quite regularly from Amazon - and I find it quite annoying that they'd block the purchase of one of my books. I hope they never do that when my daughter is buying books she needs in a hurry for her degree course! I still find it quite surprising that they found anything suspicious in my book purchases. I do hope they're not going to make a habit of this.

They also advised me that I should use a credit card rather than a debit card. We don't have credit cards on principle. It amazes me that people who buy with money they don't have get a safer deal than those of us who prefer to pay with money that's actually in our accounts.

I was on another call when this number phoned so I missed it. The I noticed 2 previous missed calls from the night before and found a recorded message on my answering machine.

I was unsure at first but this is genuinely Lloyds TSB's fraud investigation department.  I had real difficulty getting back through to them as the line was very busy but I finally managed to speak to someone who indicated that someone had tried to buy a laptop from the Dell web site the previous afternoon using my debit card details!  Fortunately the transaction failed (who has £400 in their account this close to pay day?) but they identified it as suspicious and have now cancelled my debit card and issued a new one.  At a different time of the month they might have succeeded.

If you keep being held in a queue when you try to call them back try using the Lloyds general number 0845 3000 000

My wife said she'd got a dodgy call from a machine claiming to be Lloyds bank. We also had
a message on the answer phone.
I called Lloyds using the number on the back of the card and found the number was legitimate.

Some thieving git tried to withdraw £130 from our account in Holland.
luckily the transaction either failed or was blocked.

Thankyou Lloyds TSB for looking after our cash. This would be a bad time of year to lose money
even if we did get it back eventually.

Just called 0845 3000 000 and they connected me to the security line where they canfirmed that they do indeed  use an automated calling system and that suspect transactions are checked there.
Call 0845 3000 000 to check don't take my word for it .

Well, I answered a call to my home number, which is ex-directory, and got an automated message saying congratulations I had won a holiday .... then got routed to a voice mail message asking me to key in my phone number to confirm this and that it would take a couple of minutes ....  ..  I hung up !  I then got a further 2 calls, from the same number, saying that they were the fraud prevention department, routed through to the very same message, same voice, asking me to key in my phone number and that it would take a couple of minutes .....  how do you go from winning a free holiday to fraud prevention .. oh and the name they quoted was not mine .... all a bit suspicious.. have blocked the number

This telephone number has called me three times this morning and obviously sounds like a scam. I found this website and rang my own bank. Lloyds have confirmed that it IS their Fraud Dept trying to contact someone. I cannot believe a company like Lloyds would use such a suspicious-sounding automated system like this at a time when everyone is wary of replying to recordings like this!

They called and sed they wanted to confirm that i had made some recent transactions!!

Just had a call from this number stating they were from LLoyds TSB, so rang LLoyds TSB customer service who confirmed it was them and the call was for fraud protection, so rang the number back and they asked me to confirm if the last 5 transactions on my card were genuine, they will read out the transactions and you press 1 to confirm they were made by you.  All genuine and above board.

Missed the call from this number, said they were from Lloyds TSB-and asked me to ring back. Which I promptly did, was simply to check that a few recent transactions had really been made by me. Which they had. It's what I get from ordering a videogame from Canada.

Confirmed genuine number. Was LloydsTSB telling me that someone had tried using my card info in Spain (when I'm sat in lovely snowy England).

If you get a call from this number, call it back ASAP. It could very well save your money.

They also SMS'd me on my mobile shortly after I missed the call.
