02032398052 Summary (Read all comments)

Phone number ☎️ 02032398052 👆 is reported as a persistent and well-known scam targeting UK residents with calls falsely claiming they’ve been awarded an £8,000 government grant for being a good citizen. Callers often use foreign accents, obscure international numbers, and press recipients to call a specified local number to claim their “funds.” The scam typically involves requests for personal details and an upfront payment (around £200) purportedly to release the grant, which is never received. Many recipients have detected the deceit through inconsistent stories, lack of official information, or simple logic regarding government finances. Vulnerable individuals, including elderly people, are frequently targeted. It is strongly advised not to engage, never to provide personal or financial details, and to report such incidents to authorities.

This call really made my morning, had me laughing non stop! The bloke started ranting about how all English people are con artists and that the Queen’s got the stone. I mentioned all the help we send over to India and said if the stone was sent back, it wouldn’t be sold or the money given to those in need. I told him we actually support a lot of Indian immigrants, so his comments were unfair to them. Ended up telling him he must’ve been totally brainwashed. Honestly, these calls give me some great chat material for the day. Ha ha!

Had a call today from +3902389001076, but honestly I could barely make out what the lady was saying. She kept going on about some treasury thing, saying I'd won £8000 or summat. Asked me to confirm my phone number, then suddenly wanted my age too. She gave me a code number and told me to ring back on 0203 239 8052, but only if I called within half an hour or so. Had a quick search of that number online and, well, you can guess what I found...

Got a call earlier today from +39 0238 9001076. The woman on the line was hard to understand, but she said something about the treasury granting me £8,000. She asked me to verify my phone number, then abruptly said hello again and asked how old I was. She gave me a code along with a number, 0203 239 8052, telling me I had to ring back within half an hour or so. I looked up the number online - didn’t need to dig too deep to know it was dodgy.

I've been through the same thing as many folks here. Just wondering, though - since I've left TalkTalk after some issues, and I've been getting a bunch of these calls, could it be that we’re all either former or current customers of TalkTalk?

I nearly fell for some so-called grant offer of 8 grand the other day. They kept changing the address they said they were from every time I asked, but it was something like the London Probate Dept or similar. Kinda makes me doubt I’ll ever get any money from that lot. Shame, really - could’ve had a nice Christmas down in Marbella instead!

I've had pretty much the same thing happen to me as well. Just wondering though, since I’ve gotten a couple of these calls after dealing with TalkTalk (and I've actually left them now), could it be that all of us who get these calls are either current or former TalkTalk customers?

I got a call earlier from some bloke abroad claiming the government was handing out £8000 to good people. I humoured him by repeating back all his info just to keep him talking - knew straight away it was dodgy. I've even received a note from the DWP about a £200 heating payment, so if I really was entitled to £8000, they’d have told me by now. These types of calls are so annoying, why do they still get through?

Got a call earlier from some bloke overseas saying the government was handing out £8000 to honest people. I played along, got all his info and repeated it back, just to keep him chatting. Knew it was definitely a con. Recently, I did get a letter from the DWP about a £200 heating allowance, so if I really was entitled to £8000 they would have told me properly. Honestly, why can't these nuisance calls be blocked for good?

Got a call from a guy with a foreign accent today claiming I was eligible for an £8000 government grant. He told me to ring a number immediately. Sounded totally dodgy to me. He asked about my job and how old I was but couldn’t tell me my name when I asked. When I pressed for his name, he just stopped talking. There’s no way any government is giving me that kind of money. It’s a massive scam. Don’t hand over any personal info to these people!

Didn't fall for it - it’s obviously a scam! The Government’s short of cash, there’s no way they’re handing me any cash, even if I supposedly 'paid all my taxes and never went bankrupt'!!!

A bloke called me with some supposedly brilliant news and mentioned he was from Spain. The call came from a number that wasn't local, but he did provide another number to call back and check if I'd really won. Thing is, it's not quite that simple - I’d need to stump up £210 before I could get the £8000 prize. The silver lining? He claimed the £210 would be given back to me later. To see if this was a proper scam or not, I threw a question at him about who the British Prime Minister was, since he had a foreign accent. He had no clue! By then, it was time for me to catch my regular Popmaster segment on Radio 2, so I wrapped up, told him he was total hassle, a con artist and a scammer, and wished him a very lousy day, week, month, and year.

Just had the exact same thing happen. My husband answered and the woman on the phone said she was with the police, so he asked her for some ID. She didn’t sound English, more like she had an Asian accent, and then she started calling him a stupid arse! His English isn’t perfect as he’s not originally from the UK, so it was really rude of her. Then she just hung up. Definitely not very professional at all!

My grandma who's 87 got a call about some medical costs. The guy wouldn't give me a straight answer at first, and he couldn’t say which govt department he worked for. When he finally gave me a contact and grant ID, he warned me not to share it with anyone. The home phone started ringing off the hook after that.

Had a phone call from some bloke with a weird mix of an foreign accent and american drawl, telling me i was picked for a government grant worth about £8,000 for being a model citizen or something. All i had to do was ring another number and give them some “secure code” to find out how to claim the cash. Obviously, it sounded dodgy right away so i looked up the number online. Feel proper bad for people who fall for these sorts of tricks - wish there was a way to put an end to these scams once and for all.

I just got called by the same scam number. Has anyone bothered to report it to the police yet? Since it’s a registered number, I’d imagine they could track it down and take action, or maybe even go after the company that’s letting them use that number. Feels like something should be done about this.

I got a call from someone claiming to be from the London Grants office, saying it was on behalf of the government. They told me I was selected to get £8,000 with no repayment needed. They gave me an ID number and told me to ring their fund manager on 02032398052. The call actually came from the number 002389001076. Makes me think how many elderly folks have fallen for this. How come these numbers are still active?

Total rip off this one. Like the government would just have £8000 ready to hand out to anyone who answers the phone. It's all just a load of rubbish and a huge waste of time. Don’t trust anyone ringing up saying there’s some kind of government grant you can spend however you want. Real grants are always tied to strict conditions and you have to meet all kinds of criteria. This "grant" business is just a con. Best not to call back or get involved at all.

Totally a scam, no way the government is just handing out £8000 to random people like that. Waste of time for sure. Never trust anyone ringing you up claiming there’s some government grant you can spend on whatever you want. Legit grants always have strict rules and are for specific things, this one’s just dodgy. Don’t bother calling back, best to just ignore and forget about it.

Had a bloke on the line sounding like he was reading off a script. Said he was calling on behalf of the UK Government, telling me I was entitled to a grant of £8,000 for being a model citizen. He gave me a claim reference and a number to call to claim the cash. Proper scammers, but I had a laugh messing with him for ages. Eventually, he got fed up and had to hang up.

Got a call claiming I’d been awarded £8000 that I didn’t need to repay. I’m on the telephone preference list, so how are they still getting through? The caller used the number 02389001076 and told me to call back on a freephone 02032398052. Their English was really poor, makes me wonder if all these calls come from call centres abroad, probably in Asia, selling our details. I’m fed up with these scammers pretending to offer PPI compensation and pestering people all the time, like they think we’re daft or something.

Blimey, I just got that same ring! Luckily my mate was over, or I'd have thought I’d won some cash. Honestly, I feel like such an idiot now.

Got a call out of nowhere saying I've won £1000 if I just ring 02032398052 and mention SH215. What a load of rubbish! Lol

Got a call from some bloke calling himself ‘Stephen’ saying I’d been chosen for a government grant of £8k because apparently I’m a model citizen… yeah, right! The number he rang from was 002389001076 and he told me to ring 02032398052 with my grant reference to talk to someone ‘authorised’. He asked for my name, age and address for verification, but I gave him fake details and he didn’t seem to notice at all?? This kind of scam should be banned immediately! I’m signed up to the TPS so how are these creeps getting through?! I’m proper annoyed but it really makes me worried for folks who might fall for this nonsense.

Got a call from this number saying the government picked me for 8000 quid as a reward for being a loyal citizen. They offered me three ways to get the money: a cheque, bank transfer, or plastic card. I chose cheque since I didn’t want to share my bank info. Then the person said I’d need to pay £200 at the post office to get my cheque released. Totally sounded like a scam to me.

I got a call telling me I qualified for an £8000 grant for things like school fees or fixing up my home, apparently because I’m a responsible tax-payer and haven’t had any financial trouble. They gave me the number above plus some activation code to ring. When I called back, they told me to go to the post office and hand over £210 before they’d send the cash by cheque or bank transfer. I decided to admit I was a bit of a gambler and wanted to try and double the cash since it seemed like a freebie! :-) That’s when they just hung up on me.

Someone told me to ring this number and mention an ID code they gave me. Apparently, I'll get £8000 from the government as a reward for being a decent citizen. It just feels a bit dodgy, like it's too good to be real.

Got a call from this number saying I qualified for an £8000 grant from some government loyalty scheme. Didn’t bother calling back cos it sounds like a total scam to me.

Hi there! I recently received the same phone call about a supposed £8,000 grant from the government. It’s peculiar to think that they’d be handing out cash like that! I wonder when exactly the government started doling out free money and, more importantly, what the catch might be. It's all rather baffling, isn't it?

I got a call from a woman claiming to be from the UK government saying I was entitled to a loyalty grant. She told me to ring the number she gave and mention a reference number. Oddly, my phone flagged it as an international call. Feels dodgy, probably just fishing for bank info, so watch out - could be risky.

Got a call from a woman claiming she was calling on behalf of some company called Grand Seperable. She told me I’d been given £8,000 as a loyal phone customer and said to ring a certain number with a reference code to claim it. Sounded dodgy, like they just wanted my bank info. Classic scam if you ask me.

I got a call from a woman claiming she was with Grant Separable or something like that, telling me we’d been given £8000 for staying loyal to our phone company. She said I should ring a certain number and give them a ref number to claim it. Sounds like one of those dodgy scams trying to trick you into handing over your card info. Classic scam call if you ask me.

Some lady named Taylor Johnson rang me, and she definitely didn’t sound like she was from London with the way she spoke. She told me I’d been picked by the UK government to win £8000, which was clearly a scam.

Some lady called Taylor Johnson with a weird accent, not like anyone from London at all. She told me I’d been picked to get £8,000 from the UK government, but it’s a total scam.

I got a call from someone claiming to be from the government about some loyalty grants. The bloke had a foreign accent and said I'd won cash after a survey was done by their government team. He gave me a number to call and told me to mention a reference number to the manager who picks up. I’ve looked up the number and can’t find any business connected to it at all.

I got a call from someone claiming to be from the government about a loyalty grant. The man, spoke with a foreign accent, said I’d won some cash after a survey done by their team. He gave me a number to ring back and said to mention a reference number to the manager on the other end. I looked up the number afterwards but couldn’t find any info linking it to a legit company.

Definitely don’t reply to calls from 03001232040, it’s a scam! You should pass this number along to Action Fraud and report it, that’s what the police recommend. Stay safe!

Got a call claiming I’d been picked out as a “model tax payer” and was eligible for an £8000 grant that wouldn’t need paying back. When I asked more questions, they sent me a phone number and some sort of activation code. As with most of these calls, if it’s too good to be true, it probably isn’t. Definitely not going to ring them again.

Got a call from someone saying I could get a government grant but need to pay £210 upfront, which they said would be refunded once the grant is received. They also mentioned the cheque would arrive in the post in just 2-3 hours? Not sure how that's possible. Feels a bit off to me!
