The telephone number 08000096390 has been associated with scam in a number of countries. It was first reported by Nationwide Bank in the UK on the 23rd of January 2019.
Here’s a scam text which is doing the rounds. If you’ve received it, please don’t reply or call the number. We’ll always include the last four digits of your card number in a text about a suspicious transaction and we’ll never ask you to use your card reader over the phone. pic.twitter.com/W0Urk5DPvv
