Phone number ☎️ 01712077601 👆 is reported as a persistent scam call originating from someone with a strong Indian or foreign accent claiming to represent the UK government.

Some calls target elderly or deceased individuals, suggesting outdated or compromised data. Several users mention the calls are difficult to understand and advise caution.

7 yearsThis number called me a few times on my home phone when I walked in. No idea who’s trying to reach me.7 yearsHad a hard time understanding the bloke due to his Indian accent. He kept asking for more details, claiming the UK government owes me some money. Why on earth doesn’t BT do something to block these scams? It’s ridiculous.UKBT7 yearsGot a call from a man with a really thick Indian accent who said his name was Micheal. He told me I was due some money from the government because apparently my bank had been charging me fees I wasn't aware of. He already knew my name and address, then he asked for my date of birth. I didn’t give it to him, said I’ve never had any issues with my bank, and then he just said goodbye and ended the call.7 yearsGot a call from someone claiming to be Asian saying I’m supposed to receive a government cheque for £3,600 but I need to pay £200 first. I just hung up. Totally a scam, don’t fall for it but feel free to mess around and waste their time.7 yearsThis number has rung me up a few times. The most recent time, they were saying they’d send a solicitor over with a cheque and some papers for me to sign. Interestingly, during that call, they pretended to be from what seemed like a proper company.8 yearsGot a call about some supposed outstanding warrant because of unpaid stuff. Asked him to email me the info, but he got pretty annoyed when I wasn’t really bothered. Can’t block the number since it was on my home phone, which is annoying.8 yearsI got a call from a bloke speaking with a really heavy Asian accent, that it was hard to catch what he was on about. He somehow knew my name and where I lived, but understanding him was a proper pain. The only clear word I caught was "bank," but beyond that, nothing made sense. When I asked who he was with, he just ignored me, so I ended the call straight away.8 yearsGot a call from some bloke with a thick accent who claimed he had a pretty normal English name (for some reason) and said the government was sending me a cheque, but he needed me to confirm my age and DOB. I told him I wasn’t buying it. He just said if I don’t trust him, I could hang up, so that’s exactly what I did.8 yearsGot a call from 01712077601 about some bank charge refund from the UK government. The guy didn’t speak much English but somehow knew my full name, address and postcode. He asked which bank I wanted the refund from and even requested my date of birth to verify. I didn’t feel right about it and refused. He said his name was Robert Williams and gave a reference number, sounded dodgy to me.Robert Williams8 yearsA woman named Sharon from overseas rang me up claiming the government was refunding me some secret bank fees I’d supposedly paid. I’ve never been charged any such fees. I asked her to just post the cheque, but then she said I needed to sign up first. Definitely sounded like a scam to me.Sharon8 yearsHad a call from a bloke abroad asking for someone by just their initials. I said I didn’t know anyone like that, and he was pretty polite, said thanks and all. Still, why would he just use initials? Feels like some firm’s passed on someone’s info. Didn’t get a chance to ask what it was on about, but I’m sure they’ll ring back soon enough!8 yearsThis number has rung me a couple of times, but I haven’t picked up since it’s unfamiliar to me.8 yearsAbout ten minutes ago, I got a call from a man with a foreign accent saying money was being taken from my bank account. I just hung up straight away.8 yearsGot a call from someone named Jennifer, who I could tell wasn’t a native English speaker. She said she was from some “Claims Advisory Group” and was representing the UK government. She claimed they wanted to send me a cheque for illegal fees taken by banks and others over 20 years ago. Total nonsense - I sorted all that out ages ago, so no way was I falling for it. Definitely a scam in my opinion.JenniferClaims Advisory GroupUK8 yearsI could barely make out what he was saying and then he just hung up on me - total scam for sure!8 yearsThey rang me asking for an elderly woman who died more than a decade ago! Clearly their list hasn't been updated in ages, probably targeting vulnerable folks. When I said she’d been gone for years, the caller just ended the call right away and went off to bother someone else. So frustrating!8 yearsGot a call two times already today, same as loads of others are saying. They claim it’s from the British Government about a cheque, but they tell you not to cash it till you’ve sent a cheque back. Total scam, watch out!8 yearsGot a call from a lady called Sharon, sounded Indian, said she was from the British Government. Seemed a bit off to me.SharonGovernment8 yearsI saw a missed call but figured I’d let it ring out, and then the person just hung up without leaving anything on the voicemail.8 yearsGot two calls this morning, same story as others here - saying it’s a British Government cheque, but they tell you not to cash it before you send money back. Total scammers, watch out!8 yearsGot a call from someone who said her name was Sharon Smith, but I’m pretty sure she was calling from abroad. They rang my 91-year-old mum, claiming they’d be sending a cheque for some bank charges she’d overpaid. When I was around, they called back wanting extra details and got really nasty, shouting and swearing at me when I questioned them.Sharon Smith8 yearsGot a call from some bloke claiming I was owed a cheque for bank fees they said I’d overpaid... he told me his so-called name and gave some reference number. Then he said a government agency would ring me within the hour about how to get the cheque. Do they really think I’m that daft?! Honestly, what a joke.8 yearsI got a call from a bloke abroad who claimed I was owed some cash from the government. I just replied, "Alright then, you’ve got my name and where I live, just send a cheque by post." After that, he didn’t hang up long after!8 yearsHad about three calls today from some woman saying she's with the British government. Proper rude too. Ended up blocking the number now.8 yearsMy phone buzzed but there wasn’t a single word, then the call just ended all of a sudden.8 yearsDidn’t bother to leave any voicemail.8 yearsSome bloke called asking to talk to my missus, but when I asked why, he just ended the call straight away.8 yearsGot a call from what sounded like some dodgy government office claiming they'd help sort out my bank fees. I played along for about 15 minutes, then he got annoyed and ended the call. Tried ringing back, but the number was no good. When I called again, nobody answered.8 yearsI got a call from a woman with a strong accent claiming she was ringing from the UK government. When I asked her what department she was representing and where she was located, she just hung up on me.BritishGovernmentSubmit Your Own Report (01712 077601)
