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.

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 just got a call from the number 002389001076 claiming I’d been awarded £1000 from the government. They told me to ring a different number and give them a reference code to collect the money. Didn’t trust it, so I ended up hanging up immediately.10 yearsSeriously, I hope these muppets get what they deserve, proper karma or whatever.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!London11 yearsGot a call at 11.47 on the 7th April 2016. I answered with a simple "hello," but no one replied. After about 15 seconds a woman’s voice came on the recorder saying "goodbye". I hung up then waited a few seconds before picking up again just to be sure the line was free. Heard the dial tone, so this little double check is a good way to catch if the call is lingering or something weird going on.11 yearsThis number rang me earlier today claiming I’d won a grant for £8,000, saying I could get the money by cash, a transfer at the post office, or bank deposit. When I asked about how the cash payout would happen, the person just kept going over the same payment choices. I ended the call, but then got a follow-up from a supposed manager five minutes later. I mentioned I’d checked the official government site and they only award grants if you apply first, but he was really pushing that it was legit. In the end, I just cut the call off.11 yearsGot a call earlier today from 002389001076 claiming I’d won an £8000 grant from the UK Government. The woman, who said her name was Angela, never asked for my details since I had picked up my dad’s phone, so no name or address was given. She told me to contact Florence Berry, the accounts manager, on the same number and mention code 550 to claim the money. Yeah right, like I’d actually believe that rubbish!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 yearsHad a call from a man with a strong accent the other day. He kept saying "You know who I am" and kept going on about how he missed me and my smile. Honestly, my life’s been pretty uneventful, so I couldn't think who he meant. Doesn’t seem like I’ve got any secret admirers hanging about! Bit suspicious, right? I wondered if I’d said a name, maybe he’d have pretended to know me just to con some cash out of me or something. Strange one!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 got a call saying the Government wanted to give me an £8000 grant. Sounded dodgy to me. When I tried to ask for more details, the person just ended the call. Definitely a scam in my opinion.Government11 yearsToday, I got a call from this number and they were really rude to me.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 yearsGot a call this afternoon around 2:15, second time they’ve rung me. The first call was some dodgy bloke claiming to be from the government offering me £8,000. The second call was just weird, all I could hear was noise in the background.11 yearsGot a call from this bloke just like that once, and honestly, I couldn’t stop laughing when he just cut me off mid-chat... Proper cheeky move! 😂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 yearsHad a call from a guy with a thick Indian accent, claiming he was Steven from some UK Government Grant thing. He told me id been chosen for an £8000 tax-free grant coz I was good with my taxes. I told him I hadn’t heard anything about that before, and then he just cut me off. Was hoping to chat with him a bit more though. :(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 yearsGot a silent call from this number around half past noon on 25th Nov 2015, totally unexpected and no one spoke.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 yearsI got a call from this number around 12:56 today, saying I was supposed to get £8000 from the government. I hung up straight away. They called back and wanted to know why I'd ended the call, so I told them it was an accident. Then they went on to give me a code FM 1237 and a phone number 02032398032 to call for the claim. I didn’t bother ringing them, just ended up reporting the whole thing.11 yearsI picked up and there was nobody on the other end. What bugs me is how on earth they got hold of my number. I’m ex-directory and I’m signed up with the TPS. Plus, I don’t even use TalkTalk, so it can’t be connected to them, surely?Telephone Preference ServiceTalkTalk11 yearsGot a call from this number earlier, with some bloke claiming to be from the UK Government. Apparently, my details had been picked for an £8000 grant because I've been paying my taxes and bills on time. It sounded a bit dodgy to me, so I asked the guy, who spoke with a weird American/Eastern European accent, what name he had on file. He said if I wasn't interested in the grant, no worries. I told him I was just checking the info they claimed to have. Then, out of nowhere, they just hung up! Proper scam, if you ask 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 yearsGot a call supposedly from the government about an £8000 grant, sounded pretty legit but then they asked for our address. We're with TalkTalk, so now I’m wondering if this has anything to do with those hacking issues? Bit suspicious 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 yearsbeen stuck in bed sick and this number keeps calling nonstop. really wish they would just stop, its getting annoying having to keep getting up to answer it. someone should fix this soon!11 yearsGot a ring from this number earlier, but all I could catch was some weird background noise when I picked up.11 yearsGot a call today from someone claiming to be in London saying they would post me a cheque for £8000. When I asked about how the weather was over there, they just cut the call! Bit cheeky, really.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 yearsIf you're fed up with these annoying calls, give Action Fraud a buzz on 0300 123 2040. We’re ex-directory but somehow they still dug out our number. Next time one of those pests rings, I’m planning to give them a loud, piercing whistle right down the line - should scare them off for good! It’s funny how some of these clowns hang up quick when you mention the call’s being recorded. The longer they keep ringing, the easier it is to trace the lot. It’s worked for me before, but I’d still advise reporting it to Action Fraud just to be safe.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 yearsWhen this number showed on my caller ID, I just hung up straight away. I’ve delt with something like this before from a similar number and ended up calling the non-emergency police line. They were pretty good and actually gave me the contact for Action Fraud so the matter could be looked into. Their number is 0300 123 2040. If you’re getting annoying calls like I am, give them a ring too - it’s important we all try to crack down on these lowlife pests who obviously have no conscience or decency.Action Fraud11 yearsMy phone showed this number when it rang, and I just ended the call straight away. I've seen something like this happen before with a similar number, so I decided to contact the non-emergency police line. They were really supportive and even provided me with the Action Fraud contact to report it properly. The number to call is 0300 123 2040. If you’re getting annoying calls too, do give them a ring - together, we can try to stop these nasty people who obviously have no shame or empathy.Action Fraud11 yearsMy mobile is on the TPS list. On Monday 2nd November 2015, at 9.57am, I got a call from this number. The person said we were eligible for some kind of grant, but I told them I wasn’t interested. When I declined to share my name, they responded with a rude swear word telling me to “F... Off”. Definitely sounds like a scammy caller, and they’re obviously breaking the law in more than one way.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 yearsGot a call earlier where someone said I could get £8000.11 yearsGot these cheeky calls from someone with an Asian accent claiming to offer a government grant. The bloke was really rude, even swearing at my mum! Since then we've been getting loads of silent calls and they just drop the call halfway through, especially late at night. Proper annoying!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.

Then after a bit, a lady’s voice came on and just said “Goodbye”.11 yearsGot a call from someone saying they were from the UK Government, telling me I’d been picked for a one-time grant of £8000 because of 'loyalty'. Sounded a bit fishy to me. They wanted me to ring 0203 239 8052 to get the money sorted. No chance I’m calling that number.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 grandad’s phone has rung like 10 times in the last hour. When he finally answered, he told them he’s hard of hearing and couldn’t really catch what they were saying. Now they just keep ringing and then hanging up straight away. It’s really annoying.11 yearsThis bloke told me he was Harold Wilson and said he was ringing from 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 yearsThey were quite impolite and wouldn’t take my grandad’s number off their calling list.
