I tried calling back but there was no pickup and they didn’t leave a voicemail, so I just blocked the number.

I usually just ignore calls from numbers I don’t recognise, and this one even got marked by my phone as maybe being a scam. So I didn’t pick up.

I've been taken for £338 by this company! I've now reported them to the police's scams unit and also reached out to Trading Standards about it.

My mother-in-law received a rather dubious call today from someone claiming to represent the council tax office. They told her that if she transferred £120, she would get £30 credited to her account. Naturally, I was alerted when she asked if I could lend her the cash. If the promise of a refund was genuine, she should have been able to pay straight away! At 70, her memory isn’t the best, and I’m left quite worried about the whole situation.

We dialled this number, and the individuals on the other end claimed that we were approved for something. They insisted we needed to make some advance payments. In good faith, we handed over £3,500, but we’ve not seen a single penny since then. My advice to everyone: steer clear of this! We used Western Union to send the funds, and it’s been nothing but a nightmare.

My mother-in-law received a call from this number today, claiming to represent the council tax office. The individuals on the line told her that if she were to send them £120, she would receive a credit of £3000 in her account. I was only alerted because she asked me to lend her the cash. If the promise of that money were genuine, she would have made the payment right away! The poor woman is 70 years old and struggles with her memory.

I've received a whole host of calls!

Recently, my partner and I received a rather suspicious phone call claiming that the loan broker we approached had passed our details onto these individuals. They insisted that for a mere £116 sent via MoneyGram to New Delhi, we would supposedly kick off our loan repayments, with the promise that the money would be deposited into our account as soon as they confirmed the payment. Initially, we were sceptical but sort of entertained the idea. However, we later discovered that if we could provide a guarantor, there would be no need for us to part with any cash at all. Curiously enough, now that we’re trying to reach out to them for clarification, it seems our communications have vanished into thin air. Quite fishy, wouldn’t you agree?

I received a call from this number claiming that my loan application had been approved and that the funds would land in my account in just four hours. After perusing the comments left by others here, it's become clear to me that this is just another scam. Fortunately, these scammers don’t have any of my banking information. I’d advise anyone else to steer clear of this ploy!
