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 recently received a call from an anonymous number, claiming that I have been selected by the UK government to receive a complimentary sum of £8000. According to the caller, all I had to do was contact them at the number 02070978684 and provide them with the BN156 code. They assured me that they would give me all the necessary information to obtain the money. However, I found it peculiar that the UK government would have a call center in India or Bangladesh! I am curious as to why the aforementioned London number, which is registered with BT, has not been subject to investigation and why the scammer has not been apprehended.

I got a call too, telling me I'd won £5000 since apparently I'd paid all my taxes and was a responsible businesswoman.

Certainly! I received a phone call recently regarding some financial matters, but I have decided not to return the call.

Recently, my mother received a phone call from this number. The caller claimed that she did not have to repay the funds and that it was all meant for her, a sum of £8000. However, it is crucial to be cautious and refrain from participating in such scams. It is highly unlikely for anyone to simply give away money without any strings attached.

These scammers are persistently pursuing their unethical activities. It can be entertaining to engage with them and prolong the conversation, but remember not to disclose any personal information.

Similar to the previous instance, I received a phone call informing me that I had been awarded £8000. It was rather entertaining as I decided to engage with them and prolong the conversation for approximately 45 minutes.

I have received numerous calls from these scam artists on multiple occasions. Initially, I would simply end the call when I realized their poor grasp of the English language. However, today I encountered a scammer whose English skills were relatively good, so I decided to prolong the conversation. As others have rightly pointed out, this scheme is clearly aimed at tricking people into making costly phone calls and revealing their banking information. Interestingly, these fraudulent calls come from various different numbers. Even if you block one number, they will simply use another to reach you. In response to this predicament, I have adopted a personal rule - I choose to derive entertainment from my interactions with these scammers. By engaging them in conversation for as long as possible, I minimize the time they can spend preying on more susceptible individuals.

I received a phone call stating that I have been granted £8000, similarly to what was mentioned previously. Now, all I need to do is call back the provided number in order to arrange the transfer of the funds. However, it is quite perplexing to me that the person on the other end of the line struggled to communicate in English properly, especially since they claim to be a member of the British government.

I received a call today (25/8 at 14:40) from the number 0258900076, informing me that I have an opportunity to claim £8000. They requested me to call the number 02070978684 and provide them with the code aj223 to access the amount.

I just received a call from someone who sounded Indian, claiming that I have been chosen to receive £8000 from the government for being a law-abiding citizen who always pays bills on time. They clearly don't know me at all! The person asked me to call 02070978684. However, this is obviously a scam and it's possible that the number redirects to a premium rate line where you could be charged as much as £25 per minute. These individuals, preying on people in their own homes, are truly despicable. If they call you, you could play along and have some fun by keeping them on the line for as long as possible before politely telling them to go away.

Please be aware that the aforementioned situation is a complete scam. Do not fall for the false promise of receiving free handouts. Even when I identified myself as "yathink imstupid," the person on the other end persisted, insisting that I call a certain number. Can they honestly believe that we are that foolish? It's truly frightening to think that someone who is vulnerable might actually fall victim to such a scam. Measures must be taken to put an end to this deceitful practice. Naturally, they didn't provide me with their telephone number and abruptly ended the call when I began asking questions. How do these scammers sleep at night? It's disheartening to see what the world has come to! Thankfully, we have the internet and websites like this one that expose these scams for what they are. I'm furious that I can't report a phone number that doesn't even exist.

Please refrain from returning any calls from numbers that promise free money. How can one find the origin of this portable phone number? They are after your banking information and intend to steal from you in broad daylight. It is imperative that they be banned! We should never disclose our personal information to them. Personally, I never give out or confirm any details. However, I believe that the vulnerable individuals might fall into their trap. These thieves simply engage in plain robbery.

I had a good chuckle to myself because it was quite evident that it was a scam. Decided to give them a ring and requested cash, but she promptly ended the call! Hehe - I highly doubt anyone would be foolish enough to fall for such a trick...

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.

This actually happened to me! Thankfully, my sister advised me to search their name on Google before taking any action. I feel grateful that I narrowly avoided a tricky situation.

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.

I just received a call informing me that I've been chosen to receive a £8000 grant from the government. They asked me to provide a code and call a specific number in order to receive the money within 35 minutes. I politely declined, explaining that I do not give out my bank details. The person on the other end insisted that I could receive the amount in cash without needing any personal information. However, I immediately recognized it as a scam and decided not to call the number back.

Just like everyone else mentioned, the conversation followed a similar pattern. When the call was about to end, I expressed gratitude for her call and informed her that I had recorded the conversation. I also pointed out how fortunate it was that she had contacted GCHQ. Without wasting much time, she promptly hung up the phone.

I received a call from a man with a foreign accent who offered me £8,000. He claimed that as a good citizen who was never in debt, I was eligible for this payout. However, I expressed skepticism, stating that it seemed too good to be true and unlikely that the government would offer such a large sum of money. To my surprise, he insisted that it was not a scam. I informed him that I never disclose any bank details over the phone, to which he replied that it wasn't required. All I had to do was call 00258900076 and provide them with a specific number he mentioned. According to him, they would then arrange for me to receive the money through Western Union. I explained that we don't have a Western Union branch here, but he assured me that the person at the other phone number would guide me through the process. I thanked him politely and ended the call, with no intentions of falling for this fraudulent scheme.

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!

I just received a call informing me that I have been selected for an £8,000 grant. However, they mentioned that they couldn't send it as a cheque. It's quite amusing, really. They offered me three options to receive the cash: Western Union, Mastercard or Visa card, or the money can be sent directly to my bank account. Surprisingly, they didn't want any personal details from me. They advised me to call back their number and speak to the senior manager, mentioning the claim number in order to receive the money. But when I called back, they started asking for personal information like my age and marital status. When I questioned why they needed this information, since it's a government department selecting me to pay my bills and confirm my criminal record is clean, they insisted I call back as soon as I hung up. It's surely a total scam!

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.

I just received another call from that number, claiming that the government is offering £1,000 to responsible citizens who pay their bills on time. The person, who goes by the name of Stacey (ha ha), provided me with an approval number and instructed me to call back at 02070978684. Throughout the call, I repeatedly expressed my skepticism, stating that there must be a catch to this offer. However, the person assured me that there was no catch and that I would receive the money within an hour if I called the number. I even mentioned how it seemed strange for someone to call and give away money, but she insisted that it was genuine. I thanked her and mentioned that my family would appreciate the funds. Afterward, I quickly searched online for the number and discovered that it was indeed a scam. I didn't believe Stacey for even a minute, but I can only imagine what could happen if someone actually called that number. Those individuals are nothing but crooks trying to deceive people.

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 received a call from a woman with a foreign accent who claimed that we were chosen to receive a £1000 government grant. To claim the money, she asked me to call 02070978684. I strongly suspect that this is a scam.
