    I got 2 calls from this number this morning, automated calls, after i used my standard bank card. they said there is suspicious activity on my account, they asked for me to verify my ID no, I dropped the call. I then called standard bank and they said no calls were logged on my name and my account is fine. that i shouldnt answer the call or give ANY of my information. I called the suspicious number back and they say its a fraud line, a call center! imagine! i gave him a piece of my mind and dropped the call. Vultures

    Automated call from "Standard Bank" advising fraud on debit card however, this was at 8 am on a Saturday morning and I hadn't used my debit card for 3 days! Voice advises to phone back on number ... Checked accounts immediately and all was in order. Checked standard bank fraud line number vs call and none of these numbers aligned.

    Tam reported number ‎+27800005559 as Not Standard Bank!

    8/8/17, 12:41 PM

    I tried to register on PayPal. The website did not accept my bank card details. Immediately got an sms to confirm debit orders. Knew something was fishy as the sms was all wrong and looked suspicious. I received automated calls to my cell, home & work phones. Didn't give out any info or confirm anything.Dropped the calls after a few seconds.

    Called standard bank the next day. Its definitely fraud. Blocked my card immediately. New card to arrive in the next few days. Angry that they have all my info. Be careful, do not even stay on the call for a long while. They could hack your cellphone.

    It started off with someone from "Standard Bank" offering me a disability cover for R300'000.00, just after 18h00 in the evening (INDICATOR - who calls at night to offer you life cover).

    She explained the policy to me in my home language and then read out my ID, Address and thanked me for my long history with Standard Bank (INDICATOR - I did not choose to be addressed in my home language).

    Then followed by 1st SMS that I must confirm three debit orders. The last amount was exactly the amount that I swiped at a shop. The debit orders were dated 20th of June(INDICATOR - who sets up a debit order before pay day).

    The 2nd SMS said there was £433-000 of unclaimed and I should email [email protected] for info.

    The last straw was the automated call from 080 000 5559. I didn't even bother to entertain it.

    Clearly, this is someone who has my personal information. The number is not from Standard Bank.

    Please be wide awake out there!

    This is a phising scam where they pretend to be Standard Bank and try and get you to confirm your pin information. They already know what your bank account details are and you are last few transactions so they definitely have inside info, but they need your pin in order to and neccessary your account. Don't respond and don't answer the call.

    Just receive a call in the middle of the night from this number posing as Standard Bank. Initially they sent me SMS stating discrepancy on my account luckily I'm doing internet banking & I checked all my accounts and they are fine. By the time they call I ignored their call and checked their status here. Thanks God I didn't wasted my time with them.

    Honestly it is mostly unsettling for me that these people make contact after you have actually used your card! Standard Bank needs to find out who has access to this information, or block this kind of info from getting out! Im seriously looking at other banks now because I cannot take chances with this kind of info

    Got an sms and a call from this number asking me to confirm transactions on my account (the transactions in question were online PSN purchases and no OTP was generated) I was promted in the SMS to respond and the voicemail said to call the above number. I rather called the number on the back of my card and the lady that eventually answered said that that does not seem to be a std bank number as theirs start with 0861, not 0800. very suspect.

    I experienced this today. I am replying your post because you mentioned that you received call from +27800005559 every time you use your MasterCard online.

    This morning, I tried paying with my on aliexpress with my debit card but the transaction wasn't successful. Few hours after, I received message below;

    Standard Bank. We would like to confirm the following transactions on your debit card. Reply Y if ALL the below transactions are yours or N if any are not; 2017-03-29 R301.25 at a catalogue merchant, 2017-03-28 R17.44 at a grocery store or supermarket, 2017-03-27 R300.00 at an atm cash machine

    Immediately I saw the message, I knew the transaction not mine and it's a scam.

    Few minutes after, I saw a missed call with the number above, I called it back and could realized it's not standard bank.

    I would like to know if you also used Aliexpress when you were called with the number? To know if aliexpress has been hacked.

    This is an actual Substandard Bank number. It is Substandard Banks "fraud division" showing they care about their customers by sending them a really badly executed "robocall", which has the effect of scaring the customer instead.

    Nevertheless, if you refrain from entering any banking details and eventually deny the transactions are legitimate, you will be able to speak to a human at Substandard Fraud division and ensure that it is a real call.

    At this point I suggest that you tell that human that this robocall technique is bad customer service.
