02070978684 Summary (Read all comments)

Phone number ☎️ 02070978684 👆 is reported as a persistent scam where callers claim you have been awarded a substantial government grant, often £8,000, for being a good citizen who pays taxes and bills. The callers, frequently with foreign accents or poor English, urge recipients to ring a specific number and provide a reference code to claim the money. This is a clear attempt to extract personal and banking details or to trap victims into expensive premium-rate calls. Many warn not to respond or return the call, as no genuine government funds are given in this manner. Users recommend blocking the number, staying sceptical, and informing vulnerable individuals. Authorities and telecom providers are urged to take action against these fraudulent schemes.

I just got a call from a withheld number claiming I was specially selected by the UK government to get £8000 for free. They said all I needed to do was ring 02070978684 and give them the code BN156, then they’d explain how to collect the cash. I asked them why the UK government would have a call centre based in India or Bangladesh! I’m really curious why the phone number, which is a London one registered with BT, hasn’t been looked into and the scammer nabbed yet?

some bloke called jordon williams told me to call back with this ref mg619 to get a free grant of £8000. i dont get how these p###### can keep targeting folks who are just trying to get by?? it's really not on at all!

Just got a call from this number to my mum, claiming she didn’t have to repay anything and that it was about £8000 for her. Totally a scam, stay away from it. No one just hands out free cash like that!

Blimey, what luck you have! The UK government supposedly thinks you’re such a top bloke they’ll be sending you £8000 to spoil the missus! Just call this number and ask for Jenny, who - unlike me - speaks perfect English. Ha ha, what a joke! Don’t fall for this scam, it’s a total con! If you ring them, you'll likely get slapped with sky-high charges just for chatting to these crooks, or worse, they’ll nick all your bank details and ruin your life. Best advice? Put the kettle on, make a nice cuppa, and let the scammers’ scheme pass you by while you quietly boost the Indian economy with your tea purchase instead. A quick sorry to all honest folks from our old empire, but this Jenny character is just after your info - either to send fake dosh your way or to siphon all your cash off quick sharp!

These folks haven’t stopped bothering me yet. Honestly, it’s just a total con. If you want a bit of a laugh, try dragging the call out for ages, but whatever you do, don’t share your info with them.

I got a call telling me I’d won £8000. Decided to mess around a bit and ended up keeping them chatting for nearly 45 minutes. Quite the laugh!

These scammers have rang me quite a few times now. At first, their English was so bad I just ended the call straight away. But today I got one who spoke quite well, so I played along for a bit. Like others have mentioned, it’s obvious this is a trick to get you to ring expensive numbers and then try to steal your bank info. What I found odd is that the calls come from loads of different numbers, so even if you block one, they just call from another. My approach is to waste their time, having a laugh with them. The longer they’re stuck chatting with me, the less chance they have to scam someone else who might fall for it.

Just got a call claiming I've been given an £8000 grant or something, and all I had to do was ring back to sort out getting the cash. The bloke on the other end barely spoke any English, which makes no sense if he’s supposed to be part of the UK government. Sounded fishy to me.

Today at around 2:40 pm (25/8), I got a call from 0258900076. The caller told me I could supposedly claim £8000, but only if I phoned 02070978684 and gave them this code: aj223. Seemed pretty dodgy to me.

I just got a ring from some bloke with an Indian accent saying I’d won £8000 from the government cause I’m a model citizen with no criminal record and always pay bills on time (they clearly have no idea who I am!). They told me to ring 02070978684. It’s obviously a total scam - I bet that number just redirects to some premium rate line. I’ve even heard of these scams charging like £25 a minute! It’s disgusting how these scammers target folks at home. When they call, I just mess about with them, keep ’em chatting forever, and then tell ’em to shove off.

Like already said, this is a total scam - don’t fall for those so-called “free giveaways”. I told them my name was “do you think I’m daft?” and they still went on with “you have to ring this number and say this and that”. Do they seriously reckon we’re that clueless? It’s mad! What really gets me is how someone who’s vulnerable could get caught up in these scams. They really need to be shut down. When I asked them for their phone number, of course they just cut me off. How do these people sleep at night? What’s this world coming to?! Bless the internet and sites like this that shed light on these scams. So frustrating though - how am I meant to report a number that doesn’t even exist?

Never ever ring back numbers that promise you free cash, it’s just a trap. How on earth can you find out who owns these numbers or where they’re calling from? They’re after your bank info, trying to nick your money right out in the open. These calls should be stopped completely! Don’t hand over your personal info, I never do and always keep my details to myself. Unfortunately, some people do fall for it. It’s nothing but plain old theft.

I couldn't help but chuckle when I realised it was a total scam. I called back and asked for the money, and just as expected, the lady ended the call straight away! Can't imagine anyone actually falling for that nonsense...

Got a call from a guy with an asian accent claiming I could receive £8000 either directly in cash or straight into my bank account. He told me to call a certain number to claim this so-called government grant, but I didn’t bother ringing back.

The day after I ignored the first call about activating some supposed grant, they called me again. I’d seen some earlier messages, so I played along pretending I wanted to split my "luck" with them. Told them I hoped they’d ring back so I could explain and ask for £55 towards the registration, promising to pay them half once I got the grant. They kept urging me for over ten minutes to phone back and sign up, but eventually hung up after I mentioned it wasn’t allowed to share the grant. Honestly, I’m worried that older folks could easily fall for tricks like this.

Got a call from someone called Jeremiah saying I’d won an £8,000 grant which I could pick up in cash from the post office after confirming with some “UK London Grants” number 02070978684. Thinking I was really lucky, I asked Jeremiah for his bank details so I could send him a thank-you gift. He wasn’t having it though, but did give me a mobile number 32905985 so we could meet up and split the cash. Went to the post office all excited, but no money there! Tried ringing Jeremiah back but he’s not picking up now. Really gutted about it, especially since I was ready to go shopping.

Got a call saying I’d won £8000 from the government, just had to say a code and call a number to get it in like half an hour. I said I don’t share bank info, but the person said I could pick up the cash without giving details. Didn’t bother calling back, seemed obvious a scam to me.

Like lots of others have said here, I told her thanks for ringing and that the call was being recorded. Then I joked about how lucky she was to have reached GCHQ. She didn’t stay on the line much longer after that.

I got a call from a man with a strange accent who claimed I was eligible for £8,000, which seemed odd since I’ve never owed a penny and have always been responsible. When I mentioned it sounded too good to be true and doubted the government would hand out that kind of cash, he insisted it wasn't a con. I said I never share my bank info over the phone, but he said it wasn’t needed - just ring 00258900076, give them a reference number he gave me, and I’d get the money through Western Union. I pointed out there’s no Western Union around here. He told me not to fret, that the person on the other end would help me. I politely thanked him and ended the call, knowing full well it was a scam. Anonymous.

I got a call from this woman with an accent, said her name was Jennifer. She told me I’d won some sort of UK government grant because apparently I’d paid all my taxes proper and had no criminal record. I told her I’d prefer the money in cash, ‘cos there’s no way I was giving out my bank or card info. She gave me a grant ID and a number to call back. Would be lovely if the government was really that generous, but I’m a bit doubtful, if I’m honest!

Just got a phone call saying I’d been picked for an £8000 grant, but they couldn’t send it by cheque, which was a bit odd. They offered three ways to get the cash: Western Union, Mastercard or Visa transfer, or sent straight to my bank account, but they wouldn’t take any info from me over the phone. Then they told me to call back their number to speak with the “senior manager” and give a claim number to sort it out. After that, they started asking personal stuff like age and marital status. When I pointed out that if it was a proper government department picking me for this money, surely they’d already know my details because I pay taxes and have a clean record, they just insisted I call back. Hung up after that - total scam alert!

Got a phone call from this exact number saying the government wanted to give me £8000. The person on the line had a strange accent and their number wasn’t showing. These calls just don’t stop! I’m proper fed up with it now, think it’s about time the government and phone companies stepped in and sorted it out. I’m already on the telephone preference service, so I’ll be reporting this scam to them as well.

Got a call from this number again, some woman called Stacey (yeah right) telling me the government was handing out £1,000 for being responsible and paying bills on time. She gave me some approval code and told me to ring 02070978684 to claim it. I kept telling her you don’t just get free money with no strings attached, and she kept saying there’s no catch, just ring back and the cash would be with me within an hour. I even said it sounds dodgy someone would call out of the blue to give away cash like that, and she said she’d be suspicious too but it was legit. I thanked her sarcastically and said the family would be thrilled, then went straight to Google and found out it’s a total scam. I never believed Stacey for a second - seriously, don’t call that number, it’s all crooks and scams.

Someone called me and said I should call this number because the government’s supposedly giving out £8,000 for being a loyal UK citizen who pays their bills on time. They even gave me a reference number to mention when I called, saying I’d get the cash today. I didn’t bother phoning though, seems a bit dodgy and I really doubt the government’s handing out money like that.

I got a call from a woman with a foreign accent who told me I'd been picked for a government grant worth £1000. She said I had to call 02070978684 to get the cash. Feels like a total scam to me.
