7 yearsI keep getting calls from an Asian guy who rings me every single day and then calls again about three times straight after. I never answer or talk, just hang up right away. It’s clear to me it’s some kind of scam and a real violation of my privacy. The cops should really look into this number asap and put a stop to it, honestly, they should catch him and keep him locked away for good.7 yearsToday, they gave my husband a call. A male caller with an Indian accent claimed to be offering a tax rebate from bank charges, but there was a catch. In order to receive £2600, my husband had to pay £130 in taxes using an iTunes card. This was the seventh call we received in just one week. Acting swiftly, I took control of the conversation and managed to obtain his name, address, and badge number. I spoke to him firmly yet calmly, revealing that I was a police officer. Curiosity got the better of him as he insisted on knowing where I worked and asked for the address and phone number of the place. To my dismay, he insulted me due to the significant age difference between my husband and myself. Eventually, the call concluded with him offering an apology and promising to send forms to cease future contact. However, we have no intention of signing anything. It's crucial not to trust them as their strong training makes them sound remarkably persuasive.7 yearsJust like others have said, these scammers from Asia keep popping up. They claim I’m owed more than £8000 from a PPI payout but want me to send £400 first to cover solicitor fees. Absolute con artists, watch out!Asia7 yearsYesterday, I received three phone calls from this particular number, and today, I have already received two. After consulting this website, I decided not to answer any of the calls since they never leave a voicemail message.7 yearsI received a call recently from someone who claimed that my husband was owed £2600. If this were legitimate, the caller would not have been able to disclose any information about it due to data protection laws. When I asked her which bank was involved, she refused to provide me with any details.7 yearsJust like others have said, got a call from an Indian bloke claiming I needed to pay £600 to unlock a £4800 rebate from a loan that doesn't even exist. Wonder how many folks fall for this trick?India7 yearsIt is evident that this is an obvious fraudulent activity. They claimed to be the Financial Ombudsman Service located in Manchester. It is important not to get deceived by their misleading claims. It is unfortunate that these individuals are engaged in criminal behaviour.Financial Ombudsman ServiceManchester7 yearsGot calls from an Asian bloke keepin on at me, sayin I’ve got some bank fees I need to pay. It was nonstop!7 yearsJust like others have said, I got a call from a guy who sounded asian, telling me I was owed about £2600. Then he said I needed to pay a £300 admin fee first. Definitely a con.7 yearsGot a call from a bloke who said he was phoning from HMRE or something like that. I just ended the call straight away.HM Revenue7 yearsGot several calls right after each other from someone babbling about a government refund, couldn’t catch much of what she was saying. Ended up having to be pretty harsh before they finally stopped calling. Total nuisance!7 yearsFor the past 4 days straight, they've been calling non-stop from around noon until 5 in the afternoon. It’s an Indian man or maybe a few of them, insisting that we supposedly owe a big sum of money.7 yearsI receive phone calls from someone at least once a month claiming that I am entitled to a PPI (Payment Protection Insurance) refund of £3,000. The person on the other end asks me to pay a fee of £300 through a SIM card, and when I refuse, they then suggest paying with a £200 Amazon gift card. They were insistent that I go to the supermarket immediately to purchase the gift card, but I explained that I couldn't. At this point, they became unpleasant and warned me that I had limited time to claim. The last call I received from them was on October 8th, 2019.7 yearsJust like others said, got a call from some Indian bloke claiming I was owed £2600 from the bank because of an overcharge. He then said I needed to pay a tax fee before I could receive the money. Absolute scam, these dodgy scammers thinking people are fool!7 yearsThis morning I got a call from an Asian woman saying my grandad, who passed away nearly a decade ago, was supposedly owed £4,500. She tried to convince my nan to pay fees first to get the money. Definitely a scam, they're just targeting the elderly and vulnerable. It's awful how they take advantage of people like that! Don't fall for it!7 yearssomebody called saying they were from the fca and told me i was owed £2600 from hmrc. they said i had to sort out a 5% tax fee of £130 first by buying a neosurf card at tesco and giving them the details. they promised after i called them back about paying this i’d get a visit from a government solicitor with a cheque. i ended up on the phone for nearly 45 mins and finally said i’d had enough and just dropped the call.FCAHM Revenue and CustomsTesco7 yearsThese dodgy scammers are at it again, pretending there's a PPI issue and trying to get money off your credit card. Absolute con artists!7 yearsI received a call from someone claiming to be a representative from a bank who was supposed to refund me £600 for overcharges. This person requested my bank details, but I responded by amusingly placing my finger in my ear and saying "red" backwards. I then asked them to send me a cheque, but they stated that they were unable to fulfill that request. Now, they are threatening that a government agent will visit my house to gather additional information. The situation keeps getting more interesting.7 yearsGot a call from an Indian group trying to scam me about some ppi payment. I kept them on the line for about 40 minutes, hoping I maybe stopped someone else from falling for it by just wasting their time. Hopefully it helps someone!7 yearsI didn't answer the call because I didn't recognize the number. I believe that if it's actually important, they will leave a message. However, in this case, no message was left, and they continued calling persistently for a while. After finding this website and reading reviews about calls from this number, I am relieved that I never wasted my time answering it.7 yearsGot a call from a guy with a foreign accent claiming Barclays had been charging us extra every month while paying off a loan. I asked him when the loan started, and he said 1993. I told him we never had a loan with Barclays, and he just hung up on me. Definitely a scam. Don’t share any personal info, even if you’ve had a loan before.Barclays BankBarclays7 yearsI have repeatedly asked them to refrain from phoning me, yet they persist in doing so. What measures can I take to prevent these unwanted calls?7 yearsSomeone rang me saying they were from HMRC. I asked for a contact number, called it back and questioned them about who they really were. They initially said they were HMRC, but I soon discovered they were actually from a company called Claims Advisory Group. Their website looked genuine at first glance, though it seemed a bit poorly kept. They’re pretending to be linked with HMRC, so I checked the official HMRC site to report potential fraud.HM RevenueCustomsHMRCClaims Advisory Group7 yearsI received a call from someone using an Indian accent, claiming to be from the tax office and informing me about a rebate I was entitled to. I recognized it as a scam, so I promptly ended the call. Shortly after, the person called again, but I simply hung up without engaging further. Out of curiosity, I decided to search for the number online, which led me to your website.7 yearsI received a suspicious call from someone claiming to be the 'Fraud Squad'. They asserted that the Government owed me £3400 as compensation for a scam I fell victim to a few years ago. It was quite obvious that this was a scam, as they requested my bank account details and such. Interestingly, this person identified themselves as the fraud squad, despite not being affiliated with the police. The caller had an Indian accent which reminded me of similar calls I have received in the past, most notably from individuals pretending to be from the Ministry of Justice. It's alarming how convincing they can be!GovernmentMinistry of Justice7 yearsI’m so glad I found this site because no one picked up when I called back. Now I’m certain it’s just another scam.10 yearsTotal scam! They told me I was owed a tax refund of more than £4,600. All I needed to do was cover a £100 delivery fee. Ended up paying a woman in Thailand at the post office. Don't fall for it!Thailand10 yearsI recently received a call from someone named David Brown, claiming to be from MOJ, who mentioned a cheque for £4681, which coincidentally was the same amount as my tax refund. The caller requested that I provide them with a £100 iTunes voucher to cover delivery and administration fees. It is quite evident that this is a scam.David BrownMOJ10 yearsA group called the 'Ministry of Justice' contacted us over the phone, and it seems others had the same experience. They claimed that I was eligible for a £4,681 tax refund. However, they then asked me to pay £75 for a paysafe card. The person, who said their name was Jean Brown, insisted that she was based in London and promised to deliver it in person the following day. This is definitely a scam, so be careful not to be fooled by it.Ministry of JusticeJean BrownLondon10 yearsI keep receiving repeated phone calls from the same person. Every time they call again, I inform them that I haven't obtained the PaySafe card yet. I've expressed my doubts to Jason, the caller in question, regarding his true identity. However, he simply insists that he is affiliated with the Ministry of Justice.JasonMinistry of Justice11 yearsI received a call this morning offering me the exact amount of £4681. Deep down, I had my suspicions that it was not a legitimate offer, but I decided to engage with them for a little while. One thing that puzzles me is, if you refuse to give them the £75 until the check has been cleared, how would they go about extracting money from you? Is there something I'm missing here?11 yearsAbsolutely nothing to report here.11 yearsI received a phone call from a company that claimed to be working on behalf of the Ministry of Justice. They informed me that I was entitled to a tax refund cheque of £4681, which was ready to be delivered to my home address. However, there was a catch - I had to purchase a £75 PaySafe card as their fee. I was instructed to show this card, along with my photo ID, to the delivery person. Once the cheque cleared, the delivery person would return to collect the PaySafe card. They called me three times, with a woman named Eva Jones stating that they were a legitimate company with their headquarters in London. She mentioned that she herself was based in Manchester. To validate their claims, they provided me with a website to check, MoneyExpertSaving.com. However, upon checking it, I found no relevant results and became suspicious. It turned out to be a scam, so please do not be deceived by this fraudulent activity! By Sangita VMinistry of JusticeEva JonesLondonManchesterMoneyExpertSaving. comSangita V11 yearsI recently received a phone call claiming to be from the 'Ministry of Justice' informing me that I am entitled to a tax refund of £4681. It's rather strange considering my income does not meet the threshold for tax payment. The caller mentioned that a cheque would be personally delivered to my address, but there's a catch - I have to obtain a Paysafe card worth £75. The delivery person is supposed to verify the card and then collect it once the cheque has cleared in my bank account. The caller's number appeared as 0432478 on my phone, but when I requested a contact number for verification purposes, they provided me with 0161 8186 104. Clearly, this is a scam. However, the effort put into obtaining just £75 seems excessive. I wonder if there's more to their scheme.Ministry of Justice11 yearsI received a call today regarding a refund from the Ministry of Justice.
