8 yearsTotal rip off! Watch out!8 yearsA chap rang up claiming to be from Benefits UK. I decided to hang up the call. I've received a fair few calls from different numbers, all purporting to be connected to that questionable outfit.BenefitsUK8 yearsToday I picked up when my phone rang. I said hello, but there was a bit of silence before a guy replied with hello. I said hello a second time, and then there was another pause just as he began talking, so I just ended the call.8 yearsGot a call from some Asian bloke named Alan, said he was with something benefits, trying to sell all sorts of stuff. I fed him some rubbish answers and he just bailed after about half a dozen questions. Honestly, they really ought to learn to count and keep track of time, haha!Alan8 yearsThe answerphone rang two times but no one left a message. If it really was something important, I reckon they would’ve said something.8 yearsSo far today, I've gotten three calls from the number 01162670089, and every single time, they just hang up on me without saying anything. Before, when they actually did talk, they said they were from Benefits UK, but what's weird is they seem to use loads of different numbers when they call.BenefitsUK8 yearsGot a call around half eleven today from someone claiming to be Benefits UK. They kept messing up my name and it really felt like it was dodgy, probably a scam.BenefitsUK8 yearsI’ve got calls like this before from a woman who knew my name but mixed up my address and postcode. She claimed to be from Benefits UK and begged me not to put the phone down, saying it’d only take a few minutes to answer some questions. I ended up hanging up because these calls are just so annoying. Definitely seems like a scam to me.BenefitsUK8 yearsGot a dodgy call, so I've just put a block on the number.8 yearsGot a missed call from this number on my BT 8610, which I absolutely love by the way, but no voicemail was left. I usually run unknown numbers through this site before deciding to block them, and seeing the feedback here convinced me to block it straight away. Really appreciate having this tool to keep my phone book spam-free. Cheers!8 yearsI’ve tried ringing them a few times now. Most of the time, there’s nothing but silence. On the odd occasion someone picks up, it sounds like a chap with an Indian accent claiming to be from "You Benefit" and says he’s got three questions for me. I didn’t bother listening and just asked who exactly benefits and why I should even bother answering. Then the call just dropped.8 yearsThis number has rang me three times today, claiming to be from Benefits UK. They keep saying they've got just two quick questions for me, which will only take half a minute and then I won't get any more calls. Every time, I told them I wasn't interested and asked them to take me off their list. By the second and third calls, they sounded pretty frustrated and said if I just answered the questions, the calls would stop. I told them no way, I’m not answering because they won’t stop calling!Benefits UK8 yearsStraight up scam, didn’t pick up when they called.8 yearsThey called me two times but each time I picked up no one said anything, then the call just dropped.8 yearsGot a call I couldn’t answer. When I rang back, it said the number wasn’t valid or something. Strange!8 yearsNot wasting my time, just blocked the number!8 yearsI got a call from some TOS number but as soon as I picked up, the line just went dead right away.8 yearsI've had the same number ring me loads of times, but they never seem to say my actual name right. They kept saying if I just answered a few of their questions, they wouldn’t bother calling anymore. Honestly, I doubt they’d keep their word. Feels like one of those dodgy scam calls to me.8 yearsGot a call from a guy with an Indian accent who said his name was Daniel (bit suspicious if you ask me). He claimed he was ringing from some sort of benefits office. He wanted to put me through a few questions, about four I think. He did know the householder’s name though, which was a bit unnerving. I just said no thanks and ended it there.Daniel8 yearsGot a call with an Asian accent yet again, third one this day alone. I asked for their name, and they just ended the call straight away. Completely sick and tired of these annoying calls!! Grrrrr!8 yearsGot a call from this number earlier today, and I think I’ve been called by them before. It was a guy speaking with an Indian accent. They asked me to verify my last name, but when I asked what the call was about and told them I’m tired of these calls, they just disconnected. Didn’t give them any info, obviously.8 yearsOur call blocker caught this number, giving them a chance to hit zero if they were legit - didn't happen! Pretty clear what that means!8 yearsI got a call from 01162670089, an Indian bloke who said he wanted to ask me a few questions. He claimed he was from some benefits department, but never really explained what kind of benefits he meant. Felt dodgy, especially when he mentioned things about pensions. I've just blocked the number, don’t wanna risk anything dodgy happening.8 yearsGot a call from some Indian guy claiming something about UK benefits, I believe. Told him I was gonna report them for cold calling to the ombudsman, and he just cut me off while he was going on. They rang me twice this afternoon - now blocked, not that it’s done much good.IndiaUK8 yearsTotal scam, dodgy caller.Fraudster8 yearsI was surprised they had my first name, feels like my info might have been sold somewhere.Submit Your Own Report (0116 267 0089)
