The calls frequently come with background noise indicative of call centres and sometimes involve silence or automated voices. Numerous individuals have blocked the number or reported it.

This is the second time this year I’ve had someone ring me saying I’ve been awarded £8,000 by the Government for being a decent citizen, paying my taxes, not being bankrupt or a criminal. I told the caller to post me the details because if they've got my phone number, they must have my address too (though I hope not), then me and the family would look over the paperwork and send it back signed. I’m just waiting to get that cheque to help pay for the new bathroom. I really wish I knew how to block these people properly, there’s so many vulnerable folks who could fall for this.

Just got a call again from that number - some woman with a really bad connection saying she was "Suzan from Breez Government" or something like that, and asked "how a u today". When I said can you say that bit again, she just hung up on me with that annoying "Bzzzz" noise. Looks like a scam, especially since it’s called twice more while I was out this week.

I have never encountered such a vile and offensive phone call in all my days. The caller resorted to the most despicable insults imaginable, hurling dreadful things about my mother and carrying on with all sorts of foul language. It was utterly appalling! I cannot fathom how this number hasn't been shut down yet; it's simply beyond comprehension.

Got a call today from someone claiming to be from the UK Government Grants Department. When I asked where exactly they were located, they said London. I pressed further, asking if it was North, South, East or West London, and they stumbled quite a bit. Their voice sounded Indian, then suddenly they asked if I wanted their address. I said yes, they gave me NC N5. I replied, "Look, I’ve got some interesting collectables for sale, fancy any?" They just hung up. Honestly, do they really believe people are daft enough to think the Government would ring us up like that?

A lady with a really thick African accent rang me at about 1.30pm. I kept having to ask her to say things again coz I couldn’t understand properly. Almost immediately it sounded dodgy. She claimed she was from the London government and that I’d been picked to get some sort of grant for being a good citizen!! Told me to ring 02032395352, give the code AV550 and ask for Rob Taylor to get the money sorted. I wasn’t rude but definitely had no intention of ringing back. I’m with TalkTalk and have no clue how to block these scam calls.

Got a call from some bloke with an Indian accent claiming to be from the British Government, telling me I was owed £8,000 tax free. When I asked if anyone actually falls for that, he called me a Mother f##ker and hung up on me. Honestly, I’d have loved to sort this out in person!

Just like everyone else here, when I said I didn’t trust him, he called me a sick old woman. I told him no way, but he kept insisting I was. Then when I pushed back, he told me to shut up, using some really rude words about my age. After that, he called me a b***** and said I should be left in the jungle. He rang my place at least four more times after that. I got my provider to block the number now. He spoke with an American accent.

Just as I’m typing this, they ring again asking why I hadn’t called. I told them it’s a scam and the woman started getting rude and then just hung up when I told her I wasn’t daft.

She told me to just hang up if I wasn’t interested, so I nicely told her to have fun attempting to scam folks and suggested she take a leap out a window.

Got a call from a guy with a foreign accent, sounded North African maybe. He claimed he was calling from some "British Government Grants and Investment Department" office in London, saying my number was picked to win £8,000. Straight away I knew it was dodgy, so I asked him to say the department name again so I could jot it down. Then I told him I’m a civil servant and that department doesn’t even exist. He just went "f*** you, f*** you" before hanging up, I couldn’t help but laugh at him.

This guy told me I had qualified for a personal loyalty grant from the government for being a good citizen??! Wish it was true! Thinking it was a scam, I asked if I could get paid by cheque instead of giving bank info, and he told me to call 02032872050 and give an activation code. Of course I never called back and checked the number on here - turns out, plenty others have had the same call. At least he wasn’t rude like some folks have said. Cheers "who called me"!

Just like all the other calls I get, but this one was really upsetting. Some bloke with a foreign accent told me to f*** off. I was shocked so I said 'sorry' but he repeated it and then called me an idiot. The noise in the background was awful too. These calls are so annoying, wish there was a way to block them. My neighbour mentioned call display, and I’m thinking of buying a new phone because of it.

Received a bothersome call-when I picked up, the line went silent. It's apparent from the numerous remarks on this site that folks are astutely pinpointing the digits employed by various scammers. So, I can't help but wonder, why doesn't BT (or whoever's responsible) take swift action on this intel and put a stop to these numbers as soon as they're flagged?

I've been informed that I'm entitled to an £8000 grant, but let me tell you, it's all a ruse! If you've got the option, I've got one solid piece of advice: end the call immediately and add this number to your block list. It’s definitely a con!

When I told him no thanks and that I knew who he was, the bloke got really inappropriate. I won’t repeat the things he said, but there was loads of nasty stuff and rude language. He even offered to pay me! I think I heard a bit of an African accent, and he claimed he was working at some call centre here in London!?

This is clearly a fraudulent call. Do yourself a favour and don't pick up. The person on the line was extremely rude and there was a whole lot of background clatter, making it all quite unsettling. They eventually terminated the call once I mentioned that I had taken note of their number and was considering involving the police.

Total scam alert. They gave me a couple of numbers to ring back to get my supposed £8k payout 02032391272 and 02032395352. When I asked, they said they were freephone but then changed it to some government office in London?? I told them that any number starting with 0203 can be leased from literally anywhere around the globe!

I received a peculiar phone call from an overseas woman, claiming I had been chosen to receive a sum of £8000 from the UK Government. Right from the moment I glanced at the caller ID and noticed the 000 prefix, I suspected it was a scam. She assured me that there was no need for repayment. When I probed further, asking if I could have the funds in cash rather than directly deposited into my bank account, she instructed me to contact 02032390675 for more details. Naturally, I had no intention of calling that number. After enduring over eight minutes of her rambling, during which I could hardly grasp what she was saying, I finally informed her that I realized this was a scam and wouldn’t be making any calls. She responded with a dismissive ‘do as you please’ before abruptly hanging up. The call quality was dreadful, with intermittent static and a cacophony of voices in the background.

Today, at precisely 15:50, I received a rather dubious call from this number. The individual claimed that I had been granted a sum of £8,000 from the government, and instructed me to ring 02032390675, stating it was the finance department coordinating the payout. I chose not to return the call, and shortly after, I got another odd call which I answered before promptly hanging up. Since then, no further communications have come through. Let's be real-nobody is simply giving away money. It’s clearly a scam, so exercise caution!

Received a call from this number saying I needed to call 02032395352 straight away because I supposedly qualified for a grant from the UK Government in London. The caller said the cash could be used for things like home repairs or settling bills. She asked my age, I said 97, and when asked what I'd spend the money on, I said my funeral. Heard nothing back. Guess I got off easy. Total scam, no doubt.

I keep getting calls from this number, but whenever I answer, it just goes silent. It's quite baffling, isn't it? One would think that BT, with or without some sort of governmental aid, would clamp down on these nuisance callers and put a stop to this kind of scam. It’s high time action was taken!

Yesterday, I received a handful of calls from a number listed as 'unavailable'. Each time I picked up, the line would go silent, though at one point I could hear a jumble of different voices in the background. Today, I chose not to respond to the calls and now I've been getting several from 0002389001076. So far, there haven't been any voices, just disconnections. It’s rather peculiar, to say the least!

Some bloke rang my work number earlier, sounded like he spoke with some kind of foreign accent. I answered all polite with "hello, how can I assist?" and he immediately started cussing me out, saying stuff like "get lost, f*** off, piss off, you're really annoying me!" I was like, hang on, you called me? Who are you? He refused to say and eventually admitted he’d dialled the wrong number. Proper rude!

I received a call purporting to be from some government agency, claiming I could receive £8000 if I just called a specific number and provided a code to unlock the funds. The caller seemed rather taken aback when I mentioned I wasn’t a pensioner or divorced. There was quite a bit of commotion in the background, and his accent sounded distinctly Caribbean.

Some bloke phoned me spouting the same tale about an £8,000 grant from the government. I asked which dept he was working for, and after loads of muttering he just snapped back with “the f###ing dept.” I made it clear I never wanted to hear from him again, which set him off swearing at me. I hung up straight away. Then, he kept ringing my number non-stop for about 10 to 15 times. I didn’t pick up and eventually he gave up.

Got a call from someone named "Randy" claiming to be from the 'UK Government Grants office in London'. He told me I’d been picked out of the blue for an £8,000 grant that I wouldn’t need to pay back. Then he asked if I wanted the money in cash or cheque. When I joked about getting paid in chickens instead, he didn’t like it one bit and started swearing - hardly what you’d expect from someone in the British civil service!

Got a call again from that same number, so I dialled the one given, 0203 286 2823, and talked to some bloke named "Joe". When I told him I wanted payment by cheque at the local Post Office, he said I'd have to provide ID, my mobile, and also cough up £210 for some kind of authorisation charge. Bet you can guess how I responded (nice and firm), then I told him to remove my number from their list.

Just like loads of others, I got a call saying I'd been picked for some HM Government grant. Usually with these calls, I mess about for around 5 minutes before hitting them with a line about whether their mum and dad would be proud of them for being con artists. Today was a bit hectic tho, so I jumped straight to calling them out as a scammer. I’ve just got one of those loud Acme Thunderer whistles for footie on order, think I might give that a go next time!

I received a call from this number at exactly 14:46 on the 22nd of April, 2016. After keeping him on the line for about ten minutes, he abruptly ended the conversation. He promptly called me again, and when I made it clear that I had no intention of continuing the discussion and would be alerting the police, he urged me to do so rather than hang up - an amusing reaction, to say the least. I ended the call, stating I couldn’t afford to waste any more of my time. I suspected it was a scam from the start, but I played along just to irritate him and see how far he would go with his nonsense.

However, I struggled to comprehend her due to the overwhelming amount of background noise, which I pointed out to her.

Eventually, she had no choice but to end the conversation when I reiterated my difficulty in understanding her.

I just had a rather peculiar phone call from this number. The person on the other end struggled with English and claimed I had been randomly chosen to receive an £8,000 grant from the UK Government. The only catch was that I hadn’t gone bankrupt in the last six months. Then, without skipping a beat, they asked how I preferred to receive my ‘grant’ - whether by bank transfer, cheque, or straight into my account. When I expressed my disinterest in such a dubious offer, they became quite irate, shouting, “Why are you wasting my time?” I countered with, “Why are you wasting mine? This is a private line, and you shouldn’t be calling me!” At this point, they started rambling something incoherent, so I decided to end the conversation abruptly.

Pretty much the same as most people here. They said I was picked randomly cause I support the government. I told them I actually don’t support the government at all. That seemed to throw her off a bit, she had to stop reading her script and struggled to reply. I kept grilling her with questions like how many folks are getting this “grant”, where the government is getting the funds from, how they got my number, and so on. Eventually she got annoyed and just hung up. Bit of a shame, I was enjoying winding her up! I bet they’ll ring back again.
