This is a message from Wycombe District Neighbourhood Watch Association

It is over three years since the main banks introduced a single easy to remember phone number – 159 – for direct contact with your bank if you experience scams that could affect your bank account. 

However, in spite of our previous Alert messages, this number still doesn’t seem to be widely recognised, hence this repeat.  So, if you think someone is trying to trick you into handing over money or personal details…

…Stop, hang up and call 159 to speak directly to your bank.

159 is the memorable, secure number that connects you directly to your bank if you think you’re being scammed.

159 will never call you. 

When should I call 159?

Call 159 if you think your account could have been compromised. Essentially, it is an easy to remember number that saves you the time of trying to find the normal number for your bank.

Remember, 159 will never call you. But you can rely on 159 to get you through to your bank.
