002389001076 Summary (Read all comments)
Phone number ☎️ 002389001076 👆 is reported as a persistent scam involving callers claiming to be from UK government departments offering false grants of £8,000 or similar sums for being a “good citizen.” The callers, often using foreign accents and international numbers, employ high-pressure tactics to get recipients to call back or share personal information. Many who engage report abusive, offensive language and aggressive follow-up calls if they question or refuse the offer. Numerous accounts highlight identical scripts, with requests for verification codes and references to fake government offices. The calls are widely recognised as fraudulent, and victims are advised to hang up immediately without disclosing details, block numbers if possible, and report to authorities like Action Fraud. These nuisance calls cause distress, particularly to vulnerable individuals, and are a clear example of organised phone scams.
Reports on phone number 002389001076
10 yearsGot a call from a bloke with a strange accent claiming I’d won £8000 from the government for being a model citizen. I played along just to see what would happen. He said I could spend the cash on whatever I wanted, as long as it was above board. Gave me a number to ring and a code to claim the money. I’m gonna look into it, cos it definitely felt like a scam. Fingers crossed I messed with his plans. These sorts of people are just evil.10 yearsThis lady was mostly acting like she didn’t get a word of English. Then she went on to ask if I could hear her alright? Wish I had that 8000K instead!10 yearsI’ve just received a rather peculiar phone call from 002389001076 claiming I’d won £1,000 courtesy of the government! They instructed me to ring another number and provide a reference to claim my supposed prize. Honestly, I found it dodgy and decided to end the conversation right there.10 yearsI truly wish for them to meet their just deserts!10 yearsSome woman called Stacey Smeeth, sounded like she had an Asian accent, said she was from a UK government dept. Offered me an £8000 grant. Told her my mum’s out and I don’t own a credit card. She went "OMG" and just ended the call. Total waste of time, be careful.Stacey SmeethUK10 yearsGot a call from a woman claiming to be from some government office in London, saying I’d won £8000 that I didn’t need to repay to clear my debts. Problem is, I don’t owe anything and the number she rang was our company’s front desk! I looked the number up quickly, found this site, and told her off, asking her to stop ringing as she was tying up our reception line. She just hung up on me without a word. Luckily haven’t had any more calls yet. Poor folks who’ve had to deal with this nonstop!London10 yearsI answered a call at precisely 11:47 on the 7th of April, 2016. Once I said "hello," there was utter silence. After about 15 seconds, a recorded female voice chimed in with a "goodbye." I set the phone down briefly, counted to three, and then picked it up again to confirm the line had indeed disconnected. I could hear the dial tone, which was reassuring. It’s a smart move to double-check in case the line is left open, isn’t it?10 yearsI received a call earlier today from this number claiming I had been granted £8,000, which could be received in cash, transferred via post office, or directly into my bank. When I probed further about the cash option, the caller merely regurgitated the same choices. I decided to end the conversation, but shortly after, a so-called manager rang me again. I informed him that I had checked the government website, which clearly states you must apply for any grants. Despite my efforts to clarify, he maintained that their offer was legitimate. Eventually, I chose to terminate the conversation once more.10 yearsHad a rather dodgy phone call this morning from 002389001076. A woman claimed that I was one of the lucky few picked for a Government grant worth £8000. She didn’t bother to ask for my name, and considering I was answering my dad’s phone, she didn’t have my address either! She introduced herself as Angela and instructed me to call some Florence Berry, the accounts manager, on the same number, quoting 550 to claim my cash. Like I’d be gullible enough to go for that nonsense! Not a chance!GovernmentAngelaFlorence Berry11 yearsHad a similar thing happen, total scam! Funny it's from TalkTalk, especially after their recent hack, don't think it's just a coincidence. Lately ive been getting calls too, they want me to download some software saying my 'modem' is infected with a virus.TalkTalk11 yearsI received quite an odd phone call from a chap who had a strong accent. He kept asking me to guess his identity and wouldn't stop saying, "You know me very well!" He rambled on about how he missed me and my lovely smile! To be honest, my life’s been rather straightforward and definitely lacking in any intriguing characters, so I couldn't think of anyone who'd be longing for me, let alone someone who might be a mysterious admirer! I can’t help but wonder what his game was. Perhaps if I had mentioned a name, he would have taken that as a cue to fake familiarity and try to dupe me into handing over some cash?11 yearsGot a call from 002389001076 claiming the government wanted to give me £8000 grant. I asked, "Which government exactly?" They seemed confused and said, "What do you mean?" So I told them the number was from abroad, obviously not local. Then they argued with me about how I could tell it was foreign. I was getting fed up and just ended the call. They rang back straight away, but I just picked up and hung up. Seems like they finally understood. Seriously, don’t these people have anything better to do?!11 yearsThey've been ringing nonstop for the past few days. The callers sound Asian or African and use strange English names, claiming to be calling from London, but the numbers are clearly from abroad. We got fed up and ended up telling them off. Afterwards, our answerphone was flooded with loads of rude and annoying messages. It's ridiculous that phone providers still don't let us block specific numbers. Honestly, there should be a law forcing them to include that feature. You can listen here: youtu.be/B51GDhaJbPcLondon11 yearsThey rang me almost ten times on the 2nd and 3rd of December 2015. They also used the number 00390238900176. After the fifth call, I just started ranting at them (felt oddly satisfying). After that, we just let it go to voicemail and recorded what happened next. Proper funny, they got really annoyed. youtu.be/B51GDhaJbPc11 yearsI received a call from someone purporting to be from the Government, claiming I was eligible for an £8000 grant. Felt very dodgy to me, and I have a strong suspicion it’s a scam. When I started probing for more details, the caller abruptly ended the conversation. Quite telling, really!Government11 yearsI received a call from this number today, and the person on the other end was exceedingly rude and aggressive.11 yearsThis number rings from Cape Verde, an island group with volcanoes near Africa’s northwest shore. Seems like folks there got nothing else to do but try to con the world, or maybe they're just practising their English by having a chat. I would’ve happily handed over my cash if the lady on the line had said some naughty stuff and sent me some cheeky pics of her ebony curves, but sadly for me, the call stopped as soon as I mentioned I also worked for the British Government.Cape VerdeAfricaBritish Government11 years+44 238 9001076 kept shouting swear words at me non stop.11 yearsRang me again today at a quarter past two, marking their second attempt. The initial call claimed to be affiliated with the government, promising a grant of £8000. During the latter call, however, all I could hear was a cacophony of background chatter. Quite dodgy, if you ask me!11 yearsI too received a call from this chap, and I must say, I found it utterly comical when he abruptly ended the conversation! How terribly impolite of him! 😂11 yearsSome bloke named Jack claiming to be from the Government called me, sounded like he could be Asian or maybe Eastern European but he was trying really hard to hide his accent. He told me I was gonna get £8000, gave me some kind of code and said to ring this other number 02032398052 to claim it. Didn't ring back of course. Honestly, it’s about time they stopped these scammers once and for all.Jack11 yearsRoger phoned me claiming I'd won £8000 from the government. When I said I didn’t think it was true, he got really aggressive and started swearing at me. Then it got even worse with inappropriate comments. I hung up and he rang back six times straight after, but I didn’t pick up. Properly nasty and rude behaviour.Roger11 yearsReally thick Indian accent. This guy called Steven claiming to be from some UK government grant office. He said I was hand-picked for an £8000 tax free grant cuz I was awesome at paying taxes. I told him I hadn’t heard owt about it and then he just hung up on me. :-( Was hoping to chat with him a bit more to see what was going on.StevenUK11 yearsI received a call from someone with a pronounced Indian accent-he claimed to be Steven from the UK Government Grant Department. He told me I had been chosen at random for a tax-free grant of £8000 due to my excellent tax payment record. I was quite taken aback, as I hadn’t heard anything about this scheme before. Just as I started to ask more questions, he abruptly ended the call. What a shame! I was hoping to engage him in conversation for a bit longer.StevenUK Government Grant Department11 yearsSteven called, sounded Asian, claiming to be from some Government Grant Department. Pretty sure it was the same bloke who rang me last week pretending to be from Microsoft! Number was 002389001076.StevenGovernment Grant DepartmentMicrosoft11 yearsGot a call from an Indian woman I could hardly hear, asking for all my info to send me a code so I could pick up £8000. Total scam, and honestly, I’m annoyed that this isn’t common knowledge yet!11 yearsI got given £8,000 from the government just for being a good citizen. With everything being cut back these days, it's mad that they’re handing out so much money lol.11 yearsA 12 digit number seems odd, with 00 usually showing it’s international. If it began with 023, it’d be from Southampton, but this one isn’t a real number. Didn’t bother calling it!Southampton11 yearsI had an unexpected silent call from the number mentioned earlier around half past noon on the 25th of November, 2015. Quite frustrating, really!11 yearsGot a call yesterday from a number I didn’t know, so I just let it ring out. Then today, another strange number rang, and my husband picked up only to hear some automated voice saying goodbye. Really glad this site exists to look up these odd numbers. Anyone know where we can report these mystery callers?11 yearsGot a call from a lady who was really hard to catch what she was saying, claiming to be from the 'British Government in London.' She told me basically the same thing, that I was entitled to £8000 for being a good citizen. I told her, 'Sounds brilliant, I'll wait for the cheque to arrive since you must have my address as a government office.' The line just went dead after that. The number she called from was 002389001076.UKLondon11 yearsToday at precisely 12:56, I received a call from this number claiming I was due to receive £8000 from the government. I ended the call abruptly, but they called me back to inquire why I had hung up. I explained it had been an error on my part, and they continued to gather more details, including a code FM 1237 and a contact number, 02032398032, to supposedly claim the money. I didn’t go through with it and instead reported the incident.11 yearsI picked up the call, but there was nobody on the other end - rather odd, isn’t it? I can't help but wonder how they managed to get hold of my number in the first place. I’m on the ex-directory list and also signed up with the Telephone Preference Service. Since I’m not a TalkTalk customer, I’m at a bit of a loss as to where this could have come from. Quite perplexing!Telephone Preference ServiceTalkTalk11 yearsI just had a call from this number, with the caller claiming to represent the UK Government. Apparently, my name and number were randomly selected to receive an £8000 grant for my impeccable tax and bill payments. Sounds a bit dodgy, don’t you think? So, I decided to probe a bit further and asked the rather peculiar chap on the line-he had a strange mix of American and Eastern European accent-what name was noted in their records. He responded rather dismissively, saying if I wasn’t interested in the £8000 grant, it was no problem at all. I simply stated I was just trying to confirm the details. And guess what? They hung up! Absolutely ridiculous! Definitely smells like a scam to me.UK11 yearsGot a call from a woman saying I’d been granted money by the Government. When I told her I wasn’t interested in talking, she started swearing at me, calling me a Mother F### and kept shouting F### F###. Proper awful experience.Government11 yearsGot a call from someone named 'Jack' speaking with an Asian accent, claiming to be from the 'UK Government Grant Dept.' He said I’d won an £8000 non-repayable grant for being good with my taxes and bills. To get it, I had to ring 0203 239 8052 straight away, give a confirmation code and some personal info to verify who I was. Of course, I knew it was a total scam and hung up. Still, I’m concerned some folks who aren’t so careful might get tricked by this.JackUK Government Grant Department11 yearsJust got a call a minute ago. The bloke said I’d won an £8000 gov grant and wanted me to confirm loads of my details, which I didn’t do. He just said he’d close my file after that. I said thanks and ended the call.11 yearsI received a rather convincing call claiming to be from the government, offering an £8000 grant. They seemed quite persuasive and were asking for my address. I couldn't help but wonder if this is somehow linked to the hacks involving TalkTalk, as we’re customers of theirs. Seems a bit dodgy, if you ask me.TalkTalk11 yearsGot a call from a bloke with an Asian accent claiming to be 'Jack' from the government, telling me I’d bagged £8,000. I kept asking where exactly he was calling from and at first, he just read my number back. After a few more tries, he just said, “Anyway, have a nice day, sir,” and then I ended the call. What a waste of time! Proper pain in the arse.Jack11 yearsI’m feeling rather unwell and find myself having to stagger out of bed repeatedly just to pick up the phone for this number. Something really ought to be done about it!11 yearsI received a call from this number, but all I could hear was some muffled sounds in the background when I picked up. Quite strange, really!11 yearsReceived a call this morning from someone claiming to be in London, saying they'd be sending a cheque for £8000. When I casually inquired about the weather over there, they abruptly ended the call! Quite cheeky behaviour, if you ask me! 😂London11 yearsHe tried to persuade me he was calling from the government by giving the office’s location. I said I wasn’t interested since I wasn’t planning on going there, and he said he’d close my file. I really hope he actually does, but it felt like he was trying to intimidate me. I can’t see how many people fall for it, but it must be worth their time to keep making these calls.11 yearsGot a call claiming it was from a London government office saying I was lucky to win £8,000. They asked me to note down a 'verification code' and ring a number. I messed up repeating the code back a couple of times, and then the woman flipped out and said I should 'cut it up and shove it up your arse'.London11 yearsLet's take a stand against these dreadful nuisance callers by reaching out to the Action Fraud helpline at 03001232040. Despite being ex-directory, they've somehow managed to obtain our number. If I receive another one of their irritating calls, I've got a rather shrill whistle ready to unleash, and I shall do so with immense satisfaction! I trust this will deter them from trying their luck again. It’s quite amusing how these clueless individuals tend to get a bit jumpy when you mention that the conversation is being recorded; the longer they linger on the line, the easier it becomes to trace their nefarious activities. This tactic has served me well in the past, but it's still a good idea to contact Action Fraud regardless.Action Fraud11 yearsI just got a call from an Asian guy talking about some 8k grant thing. When he told me to grab a pen to note down the number, I said I was busy (he rang my work number). Then he started swearing loads at me, so I just laughed and said that’s hilarious. He got even more angry and then hung up on me.11 yearsI received a call from this number and, quite frankly, didn’t bother to engage - I simply hung up. This isn’t the first time I've encountered a similar situation, and on a prior occasion, I contacted the non-emergency police line. They were very supportive and provided me with the Action Fraud helpline, encouraging me to report it so they could look into it. The number in question is 03001232040. If you’re experiencing persistent nuisance calls like I have, I recommend giving them a call too. Together, we might just manage to put an end to these unsavoury characters who think they can intimidate others; they certainly lack any decency or compassion.Action Fraud11 yearsI received a call from this number and decided to hang up before they could harass me any further. This isn't the first time I've encountered a similar situation, and previously, I reached out to the non-emergency police line for assistance. They were quite supportive and provided me with the Action Fraud contact details for further investigation. The number in question is 03001232040. If you're also plagued by bothersome calls, I encourage you to contact them, as every report helps in putting an end to these despicable lowlifes who exploit others without a second thought. Together, let's take a stand against their appalling behaviour!Action Fraud11 yearsI have my phone registered with the Telephone Preference Service. At 9:57 in the morning on Monday, 2nd November 2015, I received a call from this number. The individual on the other end was trying to convince me that I was eligible for some kind of grant. I politely declined their offer, expressing disinterest. Upon my refusal to provide my name, the caller resorted to some rather offensive language, telling me to “F... Off.” It's blatantly obvious that this is a call from a lowlife or fraudulent outfit, violating the law on multiple counts.Telephone Preference Service11 yearsSome bloke with an Asian accent claimed to be John Prescott and said he’d been speaking to my dad in heaven, who’d apparently been trying to contact me. Then he went on about being in hell and I asked if it was warm down there. He said I was a good guy and that the government was going to give me some cash. After about 5 minutes of nonsense, he quickly realised I wasn’t exactly a good bloke, well, not unless I decided to be, which I wasn’t really bothered about in his case.John Prescott11 yearsThere was this bloke with a heavy Asian accent working in what sounded like a loud call centre, clearly reading off a script. He claimed I’d been picked for a £1000 government grant because I’m a good person who pays bills on time and hasn’t got a criminal record. I instantly knew it was a scam and played along for a bit. When I mentioned feeling lucky to be chosen, he just hung up. Luckily, he wasn’t rude like some others I’ve read about.11 yearsThe call ended before I could pick up but the number 002389001076 showed up. I've seen people mention some kind of grant deal where they ask you to send £1 to that number. When I looked it up online, I found this: " red eagle telecoms offer revenue generating Cape Verde 238 phone numbers.” So it sounds like just calling could cost a fortune, not only £1. Definitely looks like another sneaky scam.Red Eagle TelecomsCape Verde11 yearsFraudsters, dont bother calling me.11 yearsAsian guy called me, was shouting and cursing all the way through the call.11 yearsI received a call earlier today, claiming that I could receive £8000.11 yearsWhat a bother! This individual has been nothing short of rude, unpleasant, and downright harassing. They had the audacity to curse at my mother while trying to peddle some supposed government grant, complete with a thick Asian accent. Lately, we've been inundated with silent calls and mysterious hang-ups at the unearthly hour of night. Absolutely delightful, isn't it?11 yearsSome bloke claiming to be from the government said I was due £8,000. When I asked for a number to check it out, he just read back my number and then hung up.11 yearsScammers from Pakistan - and what a dumb scam it is too. Just don’t answer, block them straight away. Tell em to jog on. Complete muppets.Pakistan11 yearsSome bloke rang me claiming he was from the UK gov’s grant dept and said I had £8000 waiting for me. I kept him on the line, asking how to collect it and said I’d pop round to his office if he gave me the address. Proper amateur scammer. Told him to stop wasting my time.UK11 yearsSome lady with a heavy Asian accent rang me up claiming I qualified for a £1000 government grant. She said she’d called a company before and got shouted at with things like "you mother F#####" and "you stupid B####" and "F### you mother F#####".11 yearsLoads of silent and annoying calls at all hours. They got rude with my mum when she said she didn’t want to talk anymore, proper horrible language. We’re on the TPS so haven’t had many calls like this lately. Really upset that my mum had to hear that kind of abuse.Telephone Preference Service11 yearsThey keep ringin my house but no ones pickin up or sayin anything.11 yearsGot two calls today, first one was just silent, then another around 2:43pm from a bloke claiming to be from the UK Government offering me £8000. I just laughed, then he said, "Mate, I f###ed your mum last night" and hung up. He had a pretty thick "Asian" accent and was hard to understand. Haven't had any pesky calls since switching my number 18 months ago. Fingers crossed this isn't the start of more nonsense.UK Government11 years002389001076 - dodgy firm ringing up claiming they’re offering an £8,000 grant as a ‘good citizen’ reward or something. I googled them while on the call and then just hung up. They called me straight back and asked why I’d ended the call. I told them, and they got really rude, so I hung up again. They rang back immediately and started swearing at me, so I pretty much told them where to shove it before hanging up once more. They’ve called six times in the last couple of minutes - not answering anymore!11 yearsGot a call from 002389001076, total scam. They told me I was an upstanding citizen and wanted to hand over £8000. Don’t fall for it!11 yearssome bloke said hes from the government and said id get £10,000, then asked if i knew why. i said sounds like a scam to me, then the call just went dead.11 yearsI asked “who’s this?” but no one replied. Then after a bit, a lady’s voice came on and just said “Goodbye”.11 yearsReceived a call purporting to be from the UK Government, saying I’d been picked to get a one-off grant of £8000 for my so-called 'loyalty'. Rather dubious, I must say. They want me to ring 0203 239 8052 to get my hands on the cash. Not a chance that I’ll be doing that!UK11 yearsSome bloke called claiming to be from some dept, but I couldn’t catch what he said. When I asked him to say it again, he just told me off, calling me a woman. I told him I’d already asked, then I just hung up. But he kept ringing till I had to unplug my phone to stop him.11 yearsOne can't help but be curious about which part of the UK government might be employing Indian phone numbers, can they?UK11 yearsJack rang at 11:24 this morning. I couldn’t quite catch where he was calling from, and he ended up shouting some pretty rude words at me.Jack11 yearsCaught them out right away but figured I'd hear them out to check how believable they could get. They claimed I had to pay a quid to confirm I was the genuine person meant to get the cash. When I asked if that meant handing over my bank info, he ('Kevin') nervously said no no no, just have to call this number 02032398052, gave me a reference code and even made up a fake London address with the postcode WC1 V7CT.KevinLondon11 yearsThey said their name was Harold Wilson and claimed to be from the UK government, but when I asked them to say it again, the call suddenly went quiet.Harold WilsonUK11 yearsMy grandfather has received a staggering ten calls in just the last hour! He managed to have a brief chat on the first call, but he mentioned he's quite deaf and struggles to hear properly. Since then, they’ve been persistently calling back and just ending the call without a word. It’s becoming rather frustrating!11 yearsClaimed his name was Harold Wilson and asserted he was reaching out on behalf of the UK government.Harold WilsonUK11 yearsJust got a call saying my number was chosen for a £1,000 government grant that you don’t have to pay back. I just said “Alright, cheers” and ended the call.Government11 yearsCaught on to their trick right away but stayed on the call just to hear how believable they’d sound. They said I had to pay a quid to confirm I was the correct person for the payout. When I asked if that meant sharing my bank info, the guy called 'Kevin' hesitated and quickly said no no no, just needed me to dial 02032398052. He also gave me a reference number and an obviously fake London address with the postcode WC1 V7CT.KevinLondon11 yearsClaimed her name was Micholoc, sounded rather Russian. The call dropped unexpectedly right after we exchanged greetings.Micholoc11 yearsI got nothing! They just cut off as soon as my answerphone kicked in. I reported it to both the ICO and Ofcom. Let the officials track them down and hit them with a big fine. If you dont bother reporting these calls regularly, they’ll just keep on pestering you. Filling in the forms is dead quick, mostly just tick boxes, so no excuse really!I. C. O.Ofcom11 yearsI encountered a rather unpleasant situation where the individual was quite unhelpful and wouldn't remove my grandfather's number from their records. My grandfather, who is 93 and battling dementia, certainly doesn’t need this added stress.11 yearsGot a call from some bloke called Jason, claimed to be from the UK gov. Said my number was picked at random for £8000. When I asked how I was chosen, he said it was random. I said "yeah, you told me that already". Then he went off saying "oh, you think you’re smart, you c###. f#ck off!" and slammed the phone down. Still waiting on that cash though.JasonUK11 yearsSome bloke rang me saying he was from the UK government and claimed I’d been randomly selected to get £8000 because I’ve got no criminal record! I thought, why on earth would the government just call to give me money? Didn’t believe it for a moment and just hung up. Then, I got a call from 0002088997766 pretending to be from Suffolk county council saying I was owed compensation for a recent accident - which I never even had. When I asked for a number to call back, he gave me some random local number. These calls are definitely scams.UKSuffolk County Council11 yearsI’m curious to find out who this number belongs to.11 yearsSome bloke claimed he was from the UK Government and said I was owed cash. When I mentioned he was actually calling from abroad, he just told me to bugger off with some pretty rude language.British Government11 yearsComplete rip-off from a rude and offensive person, can’t help but think they are the worst kind of scum when you call them out.11 yearsHe claimed I was due £8,000 from the government, but I had no idea what he was on about.

Kept saying they were from London too! The bloke on the phone said his name was John and was promising me £8000. My granddad always said nothing good comes free.LondonJohn11 yearsSome bloke called claiming to be from the Government grant dept. I was like, "Oh yeah? So you're just handing out cash for free then?" He went all quiet, muttered something I couldn't catch. I asked, "If you're really from the government, what's my name?" He shouted back something rude about 'Miss R Sole' and then just hung up on me. Weird!Sole11 yearsThis number with code 0023 isn’t from Pakistan at all, I’m sure it’s not a Pakistani number.Pakistan11 yearsCaller claimed I had £8000 due from the government. I told them I wasn’t bothered by money, got enough to keep a roof over my head and buy food, so didn’t want any. That’s when they started going off, swearing and insulting my wife and daughters.11 yearsThey told me I could get an £8000 grant. Got really annoyed when I asked which department they were from or what their name was.
