02070354848 Summary (Read all comments)

Phone number ☎️ 02070354848 👆 is reported as a scam number frequently used by fraudsters impersonating UK Home Office officials. Callers often threaten deportation or legal action, demand personal details including passport and immigration info, and ask for money to avoid prosecution. Many victims note aggressive, rude behaviour and fake accents, sometimes switching between English and South Asian languages. Scammers typically urge victims to use the internet during calls to validate their claims, which is suspicious. Several say the number appears genuine but calls are unsolicited and alarming. Reported losses run into hundreds or thousands of pounds. Despite having some personal info, callers are not legit and the genuine Home Office rarely phones, usually communicating by post. Users strongly warn against engaging with this number.

Got a call from +442070354848 today. They had a few bits of info but mostly got things wrong. Sounds like a nasty scam to me - I've had calls before pretending to be the home office, making all kinds of threats. Seems there’s some serious data leak happening with UK immigration applications, cos these scammers usually have some past details linked to UKBA claims, which is pretty worrying. As soon as I told the caller I’m not an immigrant and not from the place they guessed, they hung up. Honestly, only answer if you're ready to put these muppets straight, otherwise just ignore it.

I had a call from this number earlier on, the bloke said he was from the UK home office and gave some kind of batch ID or something. He tried to chat but I wasn’t really interested so ended the call. Honestly, I’m baffled how they manage to get hold of phone numbers and personal info like that.

I received a call from 020 7035 4848, and the man on the line claimed to be an officer from the Home Office, giving his name and ID number, which felt quite dodgy to me. He then told me to put everything down and isolate myself because the call was supposedly very important. That kind of request seemed off and not something a genuine official would ask for. I asked straight away if it had to do with any fines or penalties, especially because I’d had a scam call from a different number recently, and as soon as I asked, he hung up and never rang back.

Got a call from this number, the bloke was putting on some dodgy accent - you could hear someone chatting in Urdu in the background. His acting was so bad it actually made me chuckle. I was barely able to stop myself from grinning. He was talking absolute nonsense, started off by saying he was from the home office and told me to check the HMRC website and all that. What he didn’t know was, he was actually ringing a cop.

When I told him to hang up and call me again later, he ended up swearing at me.

Got a call earlier today from someone sayin they were from the Home Office. Had a strong Indian accent and told me to check out the gov.uk website. He kept tryin to convince me the call was legit. I asked him, if you really work for the Home Office, why do you gotta prove it's real? Ended the call straight away and he called back again. Now his number's blocked for sure.

He somehow knew the names of two people in the house even though we never shared our number with him. When the landlady started asking questions, he got really hostile because she was clearly suspicious. He said he knew us from Hare Krishna, which can’t be true, and said he was after a job, but he lives in London while we’re in East Sussex. He switched between English, Hindi and Gujarati. He wanted our personal numbers but when we asked for his, he couldn’t give it properly. He was really rude and pushy all along. Definitely a scam, but I’m not sure how exactly.

I also received a call from this number. Two people were on the line pretending to be genuine UK immigration officers. They told me to visit the .gov.uk website, search for the Home Office, and verify their number. They then asked for my personal information, and sadly, I gave it all away. But when they demanded £300, I ended the call immediately and reported everything to my workplace and other relevant authorities. Please guys, don’t panic or give out your details to strangers. Scammers are everywhere, no matter where you live. Be very careful and stay alert!

Got a call from this number but was tied up in a meeting, so I couldn’t pick up. Once I finished, I rang back and saw it was from the Home Office. Since I’m here on a company transfer visa and wasn’t expecting any calls from them, I contacted my company’s immigration and tax lawyers. They told me this is actually a scam and advised me not to answer if it rings again. Apparently, if the Home Office wants to get in touch, they usually do it via email or official post. Just a heads up to be cautious if this number calls you.

I told him straight up he’s a spammer, that I’m recording and will report to the cops. He still wouldn’t hang up and kept pushing for the phone to be passed over. When I refused, he threatened me with an arrest warrant and said he was coming to arrest me. Crazy stuff!

Today I received a call from 0207 035 4848 claiming to be from the Home Office immigration department. They started accusing me of some crimes and warned that if I didn’t cooperate, they’d send the police to my house. They said it was a three-way call involving the Home Office, police, and council. That’s when I figured out it was a scam, asked them to send me something in writing, and hung up.

Got a call from this number saying I haven't paid some immigration charge and mentioned an alien number on my passport. The person said I filled out the T19 form wrong and signed it without meeting the rules. He scared me by saying the police were coming to arrest me, and was shocked I hadn’t got any letter about it yet. He said the only fix was chatting to his immigration lawyer, and if the lawyer believed me, he’d sort things out. He told me not to tell anyone about it. I just hung up then - didn’t bother talking to his solicitor. He did get my phone number and full name though.

Today, I got a call from this number saying they were from the Home Office. The connection was really bad, voice kept cutting out. The person sounded quite bossy and told me to check their call by visiting the Home Office website. When I told him I didn’t have Internet access, he got quite snappy, asking how I manage without Internet and how I even get in touch with my family. It was a bit rude, honestly.

Someone rang me up claiming I hadn’t updated my passport details and alien registration. They even threatened to send the police to arrest me and my wife. They gave a file number and said there’s an arrest warrant out for me for a 17-month sentence. I told my local police about it, and they advised me to be cautious and not to share any personal info over the phone.

I got a call from someone who sounded Asian, saying they were from HMRC and accusing me of being an illegal immigrant. They told me a police car would be at my place in 10 minutes to arrest me. I just told them to come ahead and arrest me if that’s the case. Never seen any police show up. Sounds like a total scam to me, maybe they were after my Visa and NI info.

This number called me too and seemed to know loads about me. They asked me questions about my immigration status and even had my passport number, telling me I owe some kind of penalty. I didn’t realise the call was pretending to be from the Home Office at first. It’s definitely a scam because it showed up as spam. Can someone advise if we should ever reply? I’m worried they might ring from different landlines and say the same thing. How can we stop falling for this if they keep changing numbers?

BEWARE - 0207 035 4848 is actually a real Home Office number BUT the Home Office never rings using this one. If you get a call from this number, dont give out any details - just hang up. If you're unsure, get in touch with the Police by dialling 101 to report it. Scammers have found a way to spoof this number to trick people.

People pretending to be officials ring you up, saying there’s a fake arrest warrant for you, and then try to scare you into paying a fine or bribe online to dodge trouble. They might already have some of your personal info like your passport details and can be really pushy, making you feel stressed and confused. Don’t trust a single thing they say, no matter how convincing they sound. Genuine authorities like the police or HMRC always send any important notices through the post to your home address - they won’t give you a threatening phone call. Stay cautious!

Our experience was really awful. One day, out of nowhere, I got a call saying there were three cases filed against me in my country and that there was an arrest warrant out for me. I was so stunned I couldn't even speak. Strange enough, the caller knew my passport info, which made it seem legit. We were pleading with him desperately for help. You wouldn’t believe it - he kept us on the phone for over two hours, then suddenly said I had to pay a fine. Thankfully, my husband caught on that it was a scam, and called the police straight away. The caller even rang back, speaking to the police pretending to be from the Home Office, saying we should be arrested.
Don’t ever pick up calls from this number. The Home Office never contacts you by phone - they always write to you first.

This call is defo a scam. They try to freak you out by saying you’re a criminal and that they’ll report you to the cops. They want your personal details but won’t send any proof or paperwork to back it up.

Got a call from someone claiming to be from the UK Home Office. He insisted I pay a 950GBP security deposit. When I said no, he got really mad and threatened me, saying I'd be banned from the UK and my passport would be blacklisted. A couple of days later, the same number (0843 308 8259) rang me again asking for 2000GBP this time. I refused again and he started yelling in Hindi, throwing insults, and then just hung up.

Got a couple of calls from these lot over the last two months - total spam. I luckily didn’t get sucked in but they keep ringing back. They mostly ring around 9 or 10 in the morning, sometimes for a few days on the trot if you don’t pick up. My husband’s work warned us about these scams and said the UK Home Office would only contact you by email or letter, never by phone. So don’t get worried if you get calls like this. Definitely report it to Action Fraud!

This number 020 7035 4848 rang me pretending to be from the HOME office UK. They told me I’m going to be deported due to some case against me. They wanted me to go online and verify an email to get the process going. I ended the call right away. After they kept ringing me non stop, I had to block the number and also reported it to Action Fraud.

I got a call today from the number 02070354848 saying they were from the UK Home Office. The bloke told me I’d committed a crime and that my passport was being cancelled, plus they’re going to arrest me and deport me soon.

I got a call from this number too, and I gave them my passport number, OCI card number, NI number and my UK driving licence details. But when they began talking about transferring money, I got suspicious and didn’t send anything. Now I’m realising it was a scam! But they have my passport and other info, should I be worried? Cheers.

Yesterday, my wife received a phone call while she was at work and unfortunately got caught up in their scam. The caller told her to leave work immediately and stay quiet without telling anyone. I was pretty shocked when she suddenly arrived home since I was working from home that day. She said nothing except that she wanted to surprise me. She locked herself in the bedroom and was still talking to this guy on the phone. They totally manipulated her, and she ended up transferring £1700 from her business account into their account.

My partner received a call like that too, telling him he’d be deported. Then the very next day, I got one as well. It’s definitely a scam. The bloke’s accent was fake, sounded neither Asian nor British at all.

Hey everyone, I got a call like this this morning too. They said the exact same thing, told me to move to a quiet area and threatened deportation. When I asked who gave them my number, they just cut off right away. Don’t stress too much about it, just block and ignore these calls. I reckon they might be pulling numbers from Gumtree, cause I only put that number on Gumtree like 3 days ago and nowhere else.

i keep getting calls from people claiming to be the Home Office, but actually, it’s UKVI now, so that’s a dead giveaway it’s dodgy... don’t ever give out your info, UKVI only calls if you’ve actually made an application. these scammers, probably based abroad (no idea how they get our numbers), pretend to be official and try to scare you with deportation threats. don’t fall for it and be sure to report these calls to the police.

Throughout the entire call, I had to remain on the line, avoid using any gadgets, and not speak to anyone until these supposed officers turned up... They even made some sounds to convince me they were actually from the immigration department. It's shocking that these scammers can still roam freely in the UK, especially when so much is spent on security here. These crooks easily trick people out of their money, and honestly, they’re the ones deserving of being behind bars. Call number: +442070354848 Call number: 02070354848

I got a call from a number that seemed pretty dodgy right from how they spoke. When I refused to give any info, the caller started being rude real quick. Honestly, I don’t get what they’re hoping to achieve with these calls. Best just to hang up and not deal with these muppets at all.

I think the guy's name is Sharif Alt Walton, he was speaking Urdu with a Pakistani accent or something. He told me I had some arrest warrant from my country and said I needed to leave the office right away, warning that their officers might show up and arrest me. I tried to calm him down but then he just blew up and started yelling. Watch out for this number, it's dodgy!

Got a call from someone called Sharif Alt Walton, I reckon he’s Pakistani and speaks Urdu. He was saying stuff about an arrest warrant from my country and that I need to leave the office, otherwise his ‘officers’ would come and arrest me. I told him to calm down but he just lost it and started shouting and swearing. Be careful with this number 02070354848, definitely dodgy.

I believe the bloke’s name is Sharif Alt Walton, he sounded Pakistani and was speaking in Urdu. He told me I had a warrant out for my arrest back home and that I needed to leave the office, saying officers might come and arrest me. I tried to explain I was getting treatment, then he just lost it and started shouting. Watch out for this number: 02070354848.

I had a similar thing happen.. they asked for loads of my info but never rang me again. If it’s truly the Home Office, why are so many folks flagging it as spam?? It’s a bit confusing tbh.

I got a phone call from someone saying they were from the UK Home Office and asked if I was at home or at work. When I asked for his name and where he was calling from, he told me to just check the website to verify. The connection was really bad because I was at work, and then the call dropped. I tried ringing the number back, and it did seem to be the Home Office number. However, when I spoke to the real Home Office later, they said if they call and the line drops, they’d try calling you three times. I waited but didn’t get any more calls. After doing a bit of digging online, I found out this number is actually tagged as both the UK Home Office and a scam call number.

Hello everyone, I wanted to bring to your attention an alarming situation regarding calls from the number “+442070354848” or “02070354848.” If you happen to receive a call from this number, it's best to ignore it entirely. While it may appear to be an official GOV.UK number, scammers have managed to spoof it, tricking unsuspecting individuals into thinking it's legitimate. Remember, if the government needs to reach out to you, they will do so directly. These deceitful individuals often use distressing tactics, claiming that you're facing arrest in your home country-not from the UK government themselves. They might offer to assist you in resolving a fraudulent arrest scenario, but don’t be fooled. Their target is vulnerable foreigners, and all they dish out is complete nonsense aimed at parting you from your cash. Regrettably, I fell victim to this scam and lost a substantial amount of money. Please exercise caution-if you receive calls purporting to be from any government agency, particularly concerning immigration or law enforcement, don’t take anything at face value. These scammers will ask you to send money through wire transfers, which is a surefire way to lose your funds without any chance of recovery. I’m sharing this experience in hopes of preventing anyone else from falling prey to such malicious schemes. Stay safe and vigilant!

This number was meant for the Home Office in the UK, yet it seems to have been redirected to a call centre up in Scotland.
