Phonecall pretending to be Halifax bank

Options
Just a heads up, just had a phonecall claiming to be from Halifax bank, sounded as if it was an Indian lady, but lauched straight into I just need to confirm your details speech asking for date of birth etc - when I refused saying that I didn't know they were genuine the call was quickly ended, phoned the bank and apparently they are aware of this.

  • Yes but apparently they just guess,according to the bank they pick a bank name at random, just glad I was awake enough.
