8 monthsThis person called, said they were from United Benefits and asked me to verify my address. When I told them I wouldn’t confirm anything without knowing why they were calling, they just ended the call. That pretty much confirmed my suspicions.United Benefits8 monthsGot a call from some "survey" by Telefonic or something, but it’s definitely a scam about banking. They just want your personal info and card details to nick your cash. It’s actually a dodgy call centre, probably from India or Pakistan and totally illegal. Make sure you report it to action fraud!TelefonicIndiaPakistan8 monthsGot a call from some people claiming to be from a company but it felt dodgy, trying to get bank info. Don’t trust these lot, they’re probably just after your cash. No legit business behind those calls, just fake numbers and hidden details. If you just hang up and ignore them, they can’t scam you. Might be worth reporting it to Action Fraud and texting the number 7726 with details. Stay safe out there!Action Fraud8 monthsI looked them up on Companies House and they havent been around since 2007, looks like they shut down then.Companies House8 monthsThat firm doesn’t even operate now. It’s just a trick to steal your cash and details.8 monthsGot a call from a lady with a heavy Asian accent, called herself Sandra and said she’s from United Benefits. You could tell she was in one of those call centres with all the racket in the background. She kept trying to get me to say my name but I didn’t bite. Had a hard time catching what she was saying, mentioning something about a washing machine or whatever. Then she just ended the call. Blocked her straight away.SandraUnited Benefits8 monthsDebt scam, pure and simple. They claimed I have an outstanding balance which is total rubbish. They told me I owe £4000, totally false. Definitely a scam number.8 monthsStay well clear, they’re just after your info! TOTAL SCAM WARNING.8 monthsI picked up thinking it was a Birmingham mate of mine but it was some Asian guy saying he was Andy. Couldn’t quite catch the company or place he was calling from, so I’m pretty sure it was just some kind of scam call.BirminghamAndy8 monthsSpoke in this odd, kinda hard to understand Peter Sellers style Indian accent, and started askin for my personal info. Pretty sure it was for some dodgy stuff.Peter Sellers8 monthsThey claimed to be from United Benefits, but as soon as I refused to share my address, they just ended the call. Definitely sounds like a scam to me.United BenefitsSubmit Your Own Report (0121 725 8281)
