I received a rather dodgy call the other day from a bloke with a distinctly Asian accent, who claimed he was from Benefit UK. He insisted I partake in a series of questions, to which I promptly responded with a firm 'No' and hung up. Frankly, this isn’t the first time he’s tried his luck; they've attempted to ring me on multiple occasions in the past, though none recently. It appears to me that this might be a marketing outfit aiming to gather personal details for tailored advertisements, and I'm leaning towards the notion that it could well be a scam. The name they’ve chosen for their supposed company sounds eerily similar to something a Government agency would use. If you happen to get a similar call, I recommend you simply hang up!

I answered and just ended up hanging up. Strangely, the number didn't appear in my last calls on BT Call Protect, so I couldn't even block it! Quite odd really.

I was curious about a few things and thought I'd ask here. Hopefully someone can help out with some answers. Cheers!

definitely some sort of con artist. he somehow knew my name. had a weird foreign accent and claimed to be from some benefit department or whatever. told me to answer some questions and promised he wouldn’t call back. i told him i had no idea who he was, and then he got all pushy. big mistake on his part! i matched his attitude and hung up on him hard.

Got a call from what looked like a Bangor, N. Wales number but as soon as I asked who it was, they hung up straight away - definite scam vibes with the accent.

Got a call on our home phone early this morning from some bloke in Wales. If I find out who you are, you’re in big trouble, mate! I’ll make sure you get a proper kicking!

I got a call from a number in Bangor, but I have no clue who that could be. I’ve never even visited that place, not even for a quick trip. So I just ended up hanging up. Really strange!

I got called by a really harsh lady who said I was daft just ’cause I didn’t want to share any details. Pretty sure it was a scam.

Got a call from some bloke claiming to be from the UK benefits office, but sounded Indian. Took ages for him to pick up, which made me think it wasn’t actually from Bangor, probably Bangalore instead. Don't give out any details - the benefits office usually writes to you and won’t ring unless you’ve asked them to. Plus, their phone numbers end with benefits gov.uk and are always freephone. Stay cautious!

Got a call from someone saying they were from benefits uk, wanted to verify my name and postcode. I told them both were incorrect, then they just ended the call. Seems pretty fishy to me, definitely a scam. Blocked the number straight away.

I've been getting calls nonstop from this number, but they're always asking for someone who doesn't even live here. I've even signed up with the TPS, but they just keep ringing anyway. Really annoying.
