Go  calls to  my  mobile for  several  weeks  from  this number  -  different  time  of  day.  Got  enougth  and  asnwer.  Guy  was  claimed  that  he  from  Natwest  bank.  He  know  my  name,  but  he  was  sound  very  doggy  as  he  hang  up  when  i  asked  about  reason  calling  me. Checked  week after this  call,  when  news  come  up  about  2  cds  with  data  lost  from  Revenu  , Natwest  bank  fraud  department -  told  that  its  not  theys number.  Luckely  i  not spoke  and  not  gave  any  details  to  this  guy. Be  aware and  never  give  any  details  on  phone to  anyone even they  says  its  your  bank  calling!!! They  trying  collect  you  security  information!!!

I live in leicestershire and I also got a call from this number on the 3rd December. I didn't recognise the number and didn't answer it. I always check the net for this type of thing. The national Dialing Code is for Bangor, Co. Down. I am glad I found this site.

I received a call from the same no. I enquired with Natwest and it indeed is their number. They said the call should have been regarding products and services they offer.

Called this morning. Unanswered.

i got a call to my mobile today from an irish man souned genuine at fist as i do bank with natwest asked if he could record the call for traimg blah blah! yes thats ok  then for security reason can you just confirm  etc   er no i dont think so! and i am not talking to you  any further  he hung up on me

Called this afternoon. Unanswered.

Just had a call from this number a few moments ago. Chose to ignore and check the number online. I have found this site straight away and am pleased I had the sense not to answer! Even if it genuinely is NatWest, it seems a little dubious if they are hanging up on people if they are asked why they are calling (see above comments).
This site is a really good idea - one for all and all for one!

Called few minutes ago.  Did not answer

Got a call at 17:50 today missed it but thought i would check online to see if anything came up. This is a very useful website!!

Got a call from this number, someone calling on behalf of Natwest, trying to sell accident insurance! Asked me to confirm my year of birth and he said he would confirm day and month, which he did! Genuine enough, just a bit of a long winded call!

Got a call at 17:45 today. His knowes my name.

I missed the call but didnt recognise the number so i googled it and got this site

I missed the call and didn't recognise the number.  Googled it and now I've  added my message here.  You should never give out personal information so it sounds like it is best to be wary even if it is genuine.  I never heard of Natwest having a call centre in Ireland or using a local dialling code.  I do bank with Natwest though so it is weird and worrying.

Don't give out any new information to people who call you and ask for it. Asking you to confirm something they claim they already know is also giving out information. Instead, ask for their name and number so you can verify that they are for real.

Surely NatWest should be able to confirm or deny using this number? Has anyone called their fraud department? Doing so is the ONLY way of knowing for sure. (Remember, anyone can post information on this website - even the would be fraudsters).

i spoke with natwest, they say it is a third party calling on their behalf (no not a fraud).  I have made a maketing ban on my account and complained to them, you might want to do the same!

Apparently this is no fraud attempt - NatWest are just using sales staff who have no comprehension of what customer service is. (Hanging up in your ear? Seriously!).

Below are the contact details for the NatWest Fraud department. (But don't take my word for it - always check for yourself!)

From outside the United Kingdom, please telephone (0044) 131 523 8383 (24 hours a day). Please note that charges can be reversed on calls from abroad.

received a call from 02891856171 10Jan08 12:17. Did not have the phone on me so missed the call.

I just got a call from 02891256171..didnt reach phone in time..is it worth reporting it to natwest?  are they only targeting natwest customers?

looks like they are targeting natwest customer. Me too got a call, but unanswered.

Called me three times in as many weeks. They never leave it ringing long enough to go to message which makes me suspicious and I haven't answered as it is an unfamiliar number.
