4 monthsGot a call but missed it, they didn’t bother leaving a voicemail.5 monthsGot a call from a bloke saying he was ringing about some government refund thing. Reckoned it was for pensioners, so obviously aimed at older folks. I asked straight up what he wanted from me and instead of being clear, he just tried to keep going with his spiel. Told him to cut the nonsense and just say what he wanted, then he got all annoyed and said "right, I won’t bother then" and hung up. I called him out for what he is - an absolute scammer.5 monthsI got a call from someone claiming to be government and saying I was due a bank refund. They asked for my full name and address, but I just told them to send the money through the post instead. Right after that, they quickly ended the call.5 monthsGot a call about some government refund for secret bank fees, they said they'd post a cheque. The person already had my address but then asked for my DOB. When I questioned why he knew everything except that, he just ended the call. I reckon this is aimed at older folks. The guy spoke with an accent that seemed Indian or Pakistani.5 monthsGot a call from someone pretending to be from the government, told me there’s a scheme to get a bank charge refund and they’ll send me a cheque. They already knew where I live, which freaked me out a bit. Then they wanted my DOB, but as soon as I asked how they knew my address but not my date of birth, they just hung up. Sounds like a scam aimed at older folks to me.5 monthsA guy called me saying he was from some government office and because I’m on a pension I was entitled to a refund. Thing is, he already knew my name and where I live.5 monthsGot a call about some refund for bank fees, they said they’d send me a cheque. But as soon as they asked for my bank info, the line just got cut off. Suspicious if you ask me.8 monthsMe: Hello? Scammer: Hello, is this Mr **** speaking? Me: Yeah, that’s me. Scammer: I’m Alex from the Claims Advisory team, how are you today? Me: Claims? What claim exactly are you referring to? Scammer: Well, sir, actually we’re not discussing any claim, that’s just what the department’s called. This call is about a refund related to some bank fees. Me: A refund for what exactly? Scammer: Ah, never mind, forget I mentioned it.ScammerAlexClaims Advisory team9 monthsJust got a call today 16/10/25 from this bloke claiming he’d send me a “CHEQUE” to cover bank fees from the last 5 years. Turned out to be a total scam, kept him chatting for about ten minutes. All he wanted were my “Bank Details”! Told him exactly where to shove it and hung up. What a muppet!9 monthsSome bloke called saying his name was Alex Browne. I told him that sounded quite English but his accent didn't match. He mentioned some reference number for a refund or something like that. Didn’t ask me for any bank info though. Said they'd ring back later. I never share my bank details on phone calls anyway. Bit daft of me, but I ended up mentioning the name of one of my banks. Fingers crossed that wasn’t a mistake...Alex Browne9 monthsGot a call about some kind of cheque refund, and they already had all my info. I thought it was dodgy, so I just chuckled and ended the call. I’ve blocked the number now. Really risky stuff.10 monthsI got a call from someone who somehow already had my name and claimed they could help me get money back for bank fees I’d supposedly been charged incorrectly for the past 20 years. I didn’t hang about - told them no thanks and ended the call straight away.10 monthsMy elderly mum got a call from a bloke who said he was Eric Brown, but he spoke with a strange foreign accent. He told her he had a cheque for her and needed her bank details. Mum immediately said it sounded like a scam, but he just denied it and told her he’d ring back the next day.Eric Brown10 monthsBeware of calls pretending to be from claims departments - it's a total scam. Don't trust them!10 monthsSomeone rang claiming to be from my bank and started asking for my account details, saying I’d been charged too much. I just hung up straight away.10 monthsThey called me and when I questioned them, they started swearing and told me to f..k off. Really rude and I wasn’t happy about it at all. Proper unpleasant behaviour.10 monthsWatch out for this dodgy scam where they ask for your bank details claiming it’s for a refund. The same lot were making calls back in early August and now they’ve started up again. Stay vigilant!11 monthsGot a call from some bloke called "Alex" with an Asian accent saying he was from the "Claims Advisory Dept", told me I'd put in a claim for a Government pension refund - funny thing is, I never did. He rattled off a cheque number and mentioned someone would ring back soon to let me know the amount. He asked loads of questions about my situation like if I could get to the bank, whether I was disabled, if I was married, and whether the mortgage was finished, seemed like he already had plenty of info on me. Thankfully, he never asked for my bank details.AlexClaims Advisory Dept11 monthsSome woman rang me about a rebate but gave a fake name. When I asked her what company she was from, she just ended the call. Pretty obvious it was a scam.11 monthsjust the sheer amount of calls they keep making shows how dodgy this whole thing is, definitely a scam to watch out for.1 yearThey mentioned a refund out of nowhere and then just ended the call.1 yearGot a call saying I was entitled to some kind of government refund and they began asking for my date of birth and stuff. I got really wary and asked if they needed my bank info, then they said not your card details. That's when I told them NO WAY, GIVE IT TO SOMEONE ELSE, I AIN'T FOOLING AROUND!! Then I just slammed the phone down.1 yearSo, apparently I've got a refund coming! This chap, Alex from somewhere in Asia I think, gave me some kind of reference number for a cheque. They're meant to ring me tomorrow to let me know how much money I'm supposed to get back. Can't wait, it's proper thrilling! Of course, I've blocked the number now. They must reckon everyone falls for this rubbish!Alex1 yearI got a call supposedly from Citizens Advice saying I was due a refund from my bank and they'd send me a cheque. I’ve never been charged any fees by my bank before, so this felt really dodgy. Big warning about this number - just hang up and don’t share any details!1 yearWatch out! These folks are nothing but crooks looking to cheat you. Stay alert.2 yearsThis number just rang me up and the person on the phone sounded like they had an accent from abroad. They claimed to be ringing from the Citizens Advice Bureau, but when I questioned them a bit, they suddenly ended the call.Citizens Advice Bureau2 yearsI’ve blocked them now, cheers.2 yearsI got a call today that was actually from the same number that called me last Friday. The guy gave me his name, but I told him straight away it was a scam. The number he was calling from turned out to be a pharmacy based in Cumbria.Cumbria2 yearsSome bloke called asking for Mr --- , which obviously isn't me as I'm a woman. I was a bit confused and said no, then he just ended the call straight away. Bit odd if you ask me.2 yearsRecognised the voice as a UK number, so I just hung up straightaway.2 yearsI didn’t really get what they were trying to say and as soon as I told them that, they just ended the call.2 yearsA lady with an Asian accent called and she actually had my name and where I live, but I thought it was a scam number. When she started saying my name wrong, I replied with "Who's that?" and hung up straight away. Turns out I was right about the scam.2 yearsSo, some young guy named Verna, sounded Indian, called me saying he was from a refund company about some secret fees I’m owed. He told me my building society hadn’t paid money into my account, but I told him I’ve never even banked with a building society! As soon as I said that, he just ended the call. Weird.2 yearsUsed this site to track the number and have blocked it now, cheers.2 yearsGot a call from 0151 528 9696 about some kind of government refund, with a cheque supposedly coming my way. The caller said they were from Claims Advisory Group. They gave me a cheque reference number, something like 320 RDZ 1001. Rachel, the person on the phone, spelled my name right, asked for my address, date of birth, and even my bank's name, which I told her. She mentioned someone else would ring me back to confirm how much the cheque would be for. Not planning to pick up if this number calls again!Claims Advisory GroupRachel2 yearsGot a call this morning from an Asian woman claiming I was due a refund from my bank and that they’d be sending a cheque. She then tried to get some of my personal info. The obvious scam clue? She kicked off by asking, ‘How are you today?’ I told her I wasn’t interested and that I thought it was a scam, then she abruptly cut me off. I’ve reported the number to [email protected] in hopes they’ll block it, but I’m not expecting much.2 yearsSaw I got a call but didn’t answer it, and after seeing what everyone’s saying here, I’m actually relieved I didn’t pick up.2 yearsThere’s been a load of dodgy calls from different Liverpool numbers lately, especially this August. They’ve been pulling all sorts of scams, like fake phone calls and bogus insulation offers. Proper risky stuff, watch out!Liverpool2 yearsGot a call from someone saying they needed to verify a payment. As soon as I asked what company they were with and who they were exactly, they just dropped the call. Definitely felt dodgy.2 yearsGot a call from some automated message claiming to be from my bank, warning me about suspicious activity on my account. Sounded fishy straight away. Didn't press any buttons or give out info, just hung up. Definitely a scam trying to steal personal details, be careful out there!2 yearsChecked the number and loads of negative reviews popped up saying it was a nuisance. So, ended up blocking it straight away 🚫 Cheers!2 yearsI got a recorded call saying my bank card was charged for a train ticket today, and I should press 1 to talk to an advisor. I ended the call straight away and blocked the number.2 yearsI picked up and there was total silence on the other end. Definitely some sort of scam call.2 yearsSome woman with an accent called looking for a guy called Robin. I told her there’s no one by that name here, then she said sorry and quickly ended the call.Robin2 yearsThis number kept ringing me a few times today. It's got a 0151 code, so I assumed it was from Liverpool. The person on the line had an Indian accent and said they were from 02 wanting to verify my account. They only managed to mention my email to confirm, which felt dodgy, so I just ended the call. They called me back three more times after that, but I didn't pick up.Liverpool2 yearsThis number belongs to some scammers from India who try to steal your bank information by claiming you've got a refund coming. Never share your personal info with them! If you already have, make sure to call the number on the back of your bank card straight away and explain the situation.India2 yearsI picked up but no one spoke on the other side.2 yearsHad one of those quiet calls again, then suddenly I heard the beep like it ended. Weird!2 yearsGot a call from a guy with a foreign accent claiming I was owed a refund because I’m on the pension. I told him straight away that I’m on the Telephone Preference Service and to stop calling me. It was clear he was fishing for my bank info.Telephone Preference Service2 yearsI received a rather rude phone call today from someone inquiring about my husband. When I mentioned he'd be back later on, the caller lost their temper and shouted something quite unpleasant. I was taken aback, and when I asked them to repeat themselves, they just doubled down on their rudeness! It's extraordinary how some people conduct themselves.2 yearsReceived a call from this number around ten to two this afternoon. The person on the line mentioned something about a refund I was entitled to, then proceeded to read out an address, which I confirmed as mine. Just as I was about to respond further, the call abruptly cut off. Many thanks, Mr. Pompa!Pompa2 yearsA woman called wanting to talk to my husband by name. I told her he was at work and couldn't come to the phone. She then said she couldn’t share any details because of legal reasons and promised to call again later.2 yearsThis guy called me with such a thick accent, I could barely catch a word he was saying. Then he tried saying my name, but totally butchered it. I just told him, "No idea who that is," and hung up straight away.2 yearsSo I got a call from someone pretending to be from my bank about a refund. He gave me dodgy details and then tried to get me to send my cheque off to some charity. When I didn’t go along with it, he just hung up on me. Total scam!2 yearsI just didn't pick up, wasn't keen on speaking to them.2 yearsThis number showed up as a pesky caller, so I went ahead and blocked it.2 yearsSaw it was marked as a nuisance, so I just let it ring out without picking up.2 yearsWatch out, this is a risky con using personal info that’s been nabbed recently.2 yearsNo doubt, this was some sort of bank scam trying to get my personal info.

Don’t fall for it!2 yearsIt was clear right away this was some sort of scam, guy kept talking about a refund. The line was really poor and scratchy, and when I pointed that out, he just cut me off without a word.

They say they’ve gotta verify your identity to send a refund but really they’re just nicking your personal info. Don’t trust them!2 yearsUtterly dodgy! They’re trying to get me to verify my personal info supposedly for a refund since I 'overpaid'. It’s clear they’ve nicked some of my personal details to make the scam appear genuine. They’ll definitely push for more sensitive information under the guise of confirmation. <br/><br/>Just hang up or advise them to go through proper channels for refunds - definitely not over the phone!2 yearsAnother one of those dodgy overseas calls trying that tired bank scam to nick your account info. The second you question them, they just cut the call - good riddance! Absolute waste of space, these scammers. Keep clear of these lot, they’re just out to trick you.2 yearsThis morning, I got a call from this number, but I can’t quite recall how the caller introduced themselves - sorry about that! It was a woman with an Indian accent, and she told me that some charges on my bank account were illegal and I’d be getting a refund. It didn’t really add up, so I asked her what charges exactly and why they were illegal. Before she could answer, the call just dropped. Definitely felt like some kind of scam to me. I’m guessing if I’d stayed on the line they’d have wanted my bank info for the “refund”.2 yearsGot a call from some Indian guy saying I’d been charged too much by my bank and they wanted to refund me, just needed my bank info. I couldn’t help myself and played a fart noise over the phone - hilarious to hear them react!2 yearsI got a call saying I'd get money back because of some payments on my bank account that supposedly had already been made.

Put the phone down right then.2 yearsJust a heads up to those phone scammers pretending to be from the bank - watch out!2 yearsGot a call from some supposed bank rep claiming I was charged too much in fees and they could give me a refund if I handed over my account info. I asked them what bank they worked for, and when they couldn’t answer, they just ended the call.

As soon as I told them I was speaking for my relative, the person on the other end just ended the call straight away. Definitely a scam in my opinion.2 yearsGot a call about a refund from what they said was the Claims Security Bureau, linked to banks and building societies. They told me they'd post a cheque through my door. Felt off cause they wouldn't give me any proper info. Definitely a scam.2 yearsGot a call earlier from a number with my local area code, and the person on the line was asking for my husband by his first name.

Felt pretty disturbed about the whole thing.2 yearsNormally I don’t pick up calls from numbers I don’t know, but this time I did. The woman on the other end asked if she could talk to me by my old surname. I told her rather firmly to explain what she wanted and why she'd called me, and then she just hung up straight away.2 years01515289696 is a scam, they’re pretending to be from the government about payments. Just block the number and don’t answer!2 yearsTotally a scam, don’t trust them!2 years2nd April 2024, 11:44 here. These bloody scammers never seem to take a breather.

When I asked her what kind of scam it was, she just hung up on me.Rachel2 yearsGot a call from this number earlier but didn’t pick up since I didn’t recognise it.
