4 yearsDefinitely a scam, don’t trust it.4 yearsI was wondering if I would still have the opportunity to maintain my life insurance payments during the Covid period. Just to clarify, I don't actually have any life insurance policies in place.Covid5 yearsI received a call from a chap named Gary, speaking in that rather distinctive accent of his. He was rambling on about life insurance or something similar. I can't help but think it's a bit of a ruse, to be honest.Gary5 yearsThis number keeps ringing me up asking for someone who’s not me. When I say I’m not who they’re after, they just cut me off without a word. Had about three calls in one day from them, told the bloke it was really annoying and they had the wrong person, then he just hung up on me. Called back instantly and they just dropped the call again. Proper frustrating.5 yearsGot a call from someone with an Indian accent pretending to be from the UK's benefits office. They said I wasn’t claiming enough benefits and mentioned some document. I told them I wasn’t interested, then they just hung up on me.BenefitsUK5 yearsJust like the previous remark - claimed to be from a UK benefits agency - total con job!UK5 yearsReceived a cheeky ring from someone claiming to be 'Dave' from the 'Department of UK Benefits'. I often play along with these muppets to buy some time and potentially save a poor soul from their dodgy schemes. They were prying into my life insurance details, but the call was abruptly terminated when the operator seemed to take umbrage at my assertion that I resided at 123 Zanzibar Terrace in Coventry, working for the illustrious Fokkenschtaff Enterprises Ltd. In a fit of frustration, he called me a 'daft git' before hanging up. Quite the character, really!DaveDepartment of UK BenefitsZanzibar TerraceCoventryFokkenschtaff Enterprises Ltd5 yearsAbsolutely, I received a call from an Asian chap who was banging on about life insurance. I played along, just like everyone else seems to have done. I quizzed him with a barrage of questions, and he eventually got quite irate before he cut the call. It was rather entertaining to toy with him! Still, it does give me a bit of concern that, similar to the other callers, he had my name and number. Just a friendly reminder-keep your personal information close to your chest and have a bit of fun winding these blokes up!5 yearsI received a call regarding life insurance and decided to have some fun with the cheeky salesperson who referred to me as a road sweeper. I retorted that I'd much prefer the dignity of sweeping the streets than deal with an irritating little pest like them!5 yearsI received a call from someone purporting to be from the fictitious UK Benefits Department. When I mentioned that he had an Indian accent, he became quite aggressive. He might have been Pakistani, for all I know!UK Benefits Department5 yearsHad another annoying call today (20th October), this time from a bloke who sounded Asian and said he was ringing from some UK Benefits Department or something. Ended the call and blocked the number, but honestly I doubt it'll stop them. They'll just ring again from some other number soon enough.UK Benefits Department5 yearsI've just received a call where they were familiar with my name. I informed them that this individual isn't associated with us anymore. I've recently registered my number with the TPS to avoid further calls. If you want to do the same, just text TPS to 85095. Cheers, Marv.TPS5 yearsA gentleman with a rather unfamiliar accent called me today, claiming to be from UK Benefits. He insisted that I wasn't making full use of the benefits associated with my life insurance policy. When I informed him that I didn’t actually have such a policy, he promptly hung up. Quite the odd encounter, I must say!UK5 yearsI received a call today, precisely at 11:44 on the 19th of October, 2021. The individual on the other end identified themselves as being affiliated with Sky TV, and shockingly, claimed that my account had been overcharged by £250. I politely informed them that they could return the funds to the same account from which they had been taking payments for the past 22 years. Much appreciated for providing this platform.Sky TV5 yearsReceived a call from an Indian bloke claiming to be affiliated with UK benefits. It reeked of a scam, and he hung up before I'd even had a chance to engage-lasted all of about four seconds!UK5 yearsGot a call from someone saying I had health coverage with UK Benefits and needed to make a claim. Couldn't get them to explain what it was about properly, then when I asked for more info, they just ended the call.UK Benefits5 yearsThe moment I picked up, they just cut off the call.5 yearsThis was definitely one of those dodgy calls trying to scam me.5 yearsReceived a call from someone claiming to be from UK benefits; they mentioned my name and the company that provides my policy. They were keen to renew my policy without any change in the premium. Quite curious, isn’t it?UK5 yearsTotal scammer, no doubt about it.5 yearsGot a call but they didnt leave a voicemail. Just missed it.5 yearsGot a call from a guy with an Asian accent claiming to be from the UK Benefits Department. He kept saying I hadn’t got any benefits and asked about when I last checked my Covid 19 policy. Told him straight to take my number off their list, but I doubt that’ll happen. Feels like they’re either scammers or just pushing some sort of sales pitch.UK Benefits Department5 yearsGot a call from a bloke with an Asian accent claiming to be from the “UK Benefits Department” - which isn’t real, it’s actually the Department for Work and Pensions. He kept saying I was in massive debt and wanted to offer help. I really hate picking up these calls, but it’s my work phone so I can’t just ignore them.Benefit DepartmentDepartment for Work and Pensions5 yearsI received a call earlier today from a chap with a foreign accent, who introduced himself as Nareen. He seemed to have a bit too much information on me and when I pressed him about how he got it, he rudely told me to “shut up.” It certainly sounded suspicious, likely an attempt to fish for my banking details or something dodgy like that. Be wary!Nareen5 yearsJust received a call from this number a mere ten minutes back. The chap on the other end addressed me by my full name and claimed to be from the UK benefits office. He wanted me to verify if I was indeed the person he named, which I found rather unusual. When I inquired about how I could assist him, he insisted, "I won’t disclose anything until you confirm your name." At that point, I decided to hang up.UK5 yearsGot a call from this number, but as soon as I picked up, they just hung up. I've blocked it now. Appreciate the info shared on this site, cheers!5 yearsPicked up the phone but ended the call almost straight away. Probably gonna block this number.5 yearsI picked up and then quickly ended the call, felt like they were trying to verify my number. I've gone ahead and blocked them now.5 yearsI picked up and heard a bloke talking, but then it just cut off.5 yearsI just ended the call as soon as I picked up.5 yearsThey called pretending to be from some kind of benefits office saying I had to update my policy. Totally a scam.5 yearsI just put the phone down as soon as I picked up.5 yearsLooks like they ring to see if someone picks up, then either start bombarding with spam or sell your number as ‘active’ to other scammy callers. Just ignore and block them! Absolute spam!5 yearsI picked up and then just ended the call immediately.5 yearsInitially, they claimed to be representing UK Benefits, but shortly after, they started probing about my life insurance information. Proceed with caution and don't disclose any personal details. Strangely enough, they were aware of my maiden name, a change I made a decade ago. The caller seemed to be overseas, and I could hardly make out what he was saying.UK Benefits5 yearsReceived a rather dubious call from someone purporting to represent "UK Benefits" - not entirely sure what that entails. They had both my first and last name and asserted that I had provided them with my telephone number. The chap on the other end was rather affronted and became quite belligerent when I probed further. I've since blocked the number and filed a report.UK Benefits5 yearsThey rang me up, seemingly aware of my name, inquiring about any benefits I'm entitled to-though I don't claim any-and brought up life insurance, which I don't possess either. Ended the call rather abruptly.5 yearsReceived a call from someone purporting to be from 'financial guidance', offering to assist me with my debts? He even suggested he had access to my credit history! When I probed him about the logic behind divulging financial details to a complete stranger over the phone, there was this awkward silence before he emphatically replied, “Absolutely!” Quite the curious exchange, wasn’t it?5 yearsI rang up regarding the dismal performance of my life insurance from the UK benefits office and kept the chap on the line for as long as I could manage. Total con!UK5 yearsI received a rather puzzling call from this number claiming to be representing UK benefits. The caller had an Indian accent, which made it rather difficult for me to grasp what he was saying, so I decided to cut the conversation short. To my surprise, he seemed to know my name!UK5 yearsLike many others, I received a call purporting to be from the UK benefits office. When I inquired further, the chap claimed he was representing my life insurance provider. He proceeded to tell me that I was missing out on various perks related to my policy, hence his reason for contacting me. I promptly informed him that I’ve no such insurance in place. He then had the audacity to suggest I get in touch if I ever required assistance regarding life assurance. What a cheeky blighter!UK5 yearsI had a call on my phone that has BT Truecall but they never left a voicemail.BTSubmit Your Own Report (0121 284 0729)
