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 yearsMy partner got a call from these lot earlier today. The bloke with an Indian accent claimed we were due a tax refund on some bank fees but insisted my partner had to cough up £130 in tax by buying an iTunes card first, to get back £2600. This was already the seventh time they’d rung in a week. I grabbed the phone off him and had a go myself. I got his full name, address and badge number, and spoke in a firm but calm way, telling him I was a police officer. He asked for my work address and number, then started having a go at me because of the age gap between me and my partner. Eventually, he said sorry and promised to send paperwork so we could stop them from calling again. Yeah, right, as if we’re ever signing anything. Don’t fall for it, they sound proper convincing - clearly well drilled!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 yearsI've been getting calls from this number quite a bit, three times yesterday and a couple more times today. After checking this site, I decided not to pick up since they never leave a message anyway.7 yearsI got a call saying my husband had some £2600 owed to him. If that was legit, there's no way they'd be allowed to share that info with me, data protection laws and all that. When I asked which bank it was from, she just wouldn’t say. Very fishy if you ask me.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 yearsTotally a scam, no doubt. I got a call from someone claiming they were from the Financial Ombudsman Service in Manchester. Don’t buy it for a second - these lot are nothing but crooks. Be careful!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 get calls about once a month saying I can claim £3,000 in PPI. First, they asked me to pay £300 using a SIM card, but when I couldn't do that, the next call was about a £200 Amazon gift card. They told me I had to rush to the shop to buy it right away. When I said I wasn’t able to, they got pretty rude and said I had very little time left to make the claim. The last time they called was on the 8th of October, 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 yearsGot a call from some bloke claiming he worked at a bank and that they had overcharged me £600, so I was due a refund. When he asked for my bank info, I just stuck my finger in my ear and started saying "der" backwards, lol. I told him to send me a cheque instead, but apparently that wasn’t possible. Now he’s gone on about some government official showing up at my place to get more info. Honestly, it just keeps getting more absurd!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 yearsThe number looked unfamiliar, so I just let it ring out. I figure if it’s really urgent, they’ll leave a voicemail - but nothing came through. They did keep calling quite a bit though. Came across this site and after seeing what others say about calls from this number, I’m pretty relieved I didn’t pick up.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've told them multiple times to quit ringing me but they just keep on calling. Does anyone know a way to make them really stop?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 yearsGot a call from some bloke with an Indian accent saying he was from the tax office and had a rebate for me. I told him straight up it sounded like a scam and ended the call. He tried ringing again but I just ignored it. Later, I looked the number up on Google and found this site.7 yearsSome bloke rang me saying he was from the 'Fraud Squad' and that I had £3400 waiting from the Government due to a scam I supposedly fell for a while back. Obviously, a total con - he asked for my bank details and all that. He kept claiming he wasn’t the police even though he said he was part of the fraud squad, which made no sense at all. The guy spoke with an Indian accent, really close to the Ministry of Justice calls I've had before. They’re shockingly good at sounding legit!GovernmentMinistry of Justice8 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 yearsGot a call not long ago from someone named David Brown, said he was with the MOJ. He told me about a tax refund of £4681, exactly that same amount! Then he asked me to buy a £100 iTunes voucher to cover some admin and delivery fees. Pretty clear scam, no way I fell for it.David BrownMOJ10 yearsI got a call from some lot calling themselves the ‘Ministry of Justice’ and it felt dodgy straight away. They claimed I had a tax refund of £4681 waiting for me, but to get it I had to buy a £75 paysafe card. The woman on the line said she was speaking from London and that they’d personally deliver the card the following day. When I asked her name, she gave me Jean Brown. Definitely a scam, so watch out and don’t get caught like I almost did!Ministry of JusticeJean BrownLondon11 yearsThis bloke has been ringing me over and over again. Every time he calls, I say I haven’t received the paysafe card yet. I’ve even told Jason - that’s the name he gave - that I reckon he’s not who he claims to be. But he just keeps insisting he’s from the ministry of justice. It’s a proper pain.JasonMinistry of Justice11 yearsGot a call this morning just like yours, asking for £4681 too. I had a feeling it was dodgy but decided to humour them for a bit. What puzzles me is, if they want you to pay £75 only after the cheque clears, how are they actually planning to make a profit from you? Is there some trick I'm missing?11 yearsAbsolutely nothing to report here.11 yearsI got a phone call from someone saying they were representing the Ministry of Justice, telling me I was owed a tax refund of £4681. They said the cheque would be sent to my home, but I had to first pay £75 as a fee by buying a PaySafe card. They claimed I needed to show the card and my photo ID when the delivery arrived. After the cheque cleared, they promised someone would come back to get the PaySafe card. The same woman called me three times, she called herself Eva Jones and insisted their company is legit with a London HQ but she worked out of Manchester. They gave me a website, MoneyExpertSaving.com, to verify everything but I found nothing at all. This is definitely a scam, don’t get caught out! - SANGITA VMinistry of JusticeEva JonesLondonManchesterMoneyExpertSaving. comSangita V11 yearsSo, I got a call from someone claiming to be from the 'Ministry of Justice' saying I was owed a tax refund of £4681. That seemed odd since I barely earn enough to pay any tax at all. They mentioned I'd receive a cheque at my home and that I needed to buy a Paysafe card for £75. Supposedly, I'd have to show the card to the delivery person and then hand it over once the cheque cleared my bank. The caller ID showed as 0432478, but when I asked for a contact number to check things out, they gave me 0161 8186 104. Pretty obvious scam, but I wonder why they put in so much effort just to get £75 - maybe there's something else going on?Ministry of Justice11 yearsGot a call today from someone saying it's about a refund from the Ministry of Justice or something like that. They wanted me to pay £100 through UKash first. Sounds dodgy to me.Ministry of JusticeUKashSubmit Your Own Report (0161 818 6104)
