Phone number ☎️ 02070998797 👆 is reported as a likely scam where callers posing as council tax or treasury officials claim the recipient is entitled to a £7k refund. They frequently ask for personal details, especially bank or card information, and pressure victims to get vouchers or make urgent calls to specific numbers. Refusal to provide details often results in irritability or threats from callers. Many report the callers know address and initials but never provide proof of identity themselves.

Visitors should be cautious as the number is associated with fraudulent activity attempting to obtain private financial data.

10 yearsAbsolutely not. This number's involved in a tax-related scam, with a man claiming to represent the Treasury. Someone should definitely inform the authorities about the network tied to this phone number.Treasury10 yearsI received a call earlier from a bloke claiming to be with the treasury, insisting that I'd be receiving a tax refund of £7,000 because I’ve been a diligent payer and have a clean slate. He wanted my debit or credit card details, but as soon as I said no, he suddenly mentioned sending a cheque instead. Seems like a proper scam to me!10 yearsI just received a call from a gentleman claiming to represent the British Council. He insisted that I was eligible for a £7,000 tax refund due to being a reliable customer with a clean record. He introduced himself as Alex Lee and encouraged me to contact his manager, a Derek Williams, at 02070998797. Supposedly, they would transfer the funds directly to my bank account within 45 seconds, provided I shared my bank details. However, when I suggested receiving the money via cheque, he flatly refused, explaining that, due to the substantial sum, the government had mandated direct transfers to bank accounts instead. Quite a peculiar situation, to say the least!British CouncilAlex LeeDerek Williams10 yearsI received a call from a lady offering me £7,000 and asking for our banking details. Quite suspicious, if you ask me!11 yearsWe received a call earlier today, and the gentleman was quite persistent. As soon as we declined to provide any bank details and asked for a cheque instead, he became quite miffed and insisted on speaking to his manager. Absolute nonsense, if you ask me!11 yearsMy 78-year-old mother had a ring that looked just like the ones mentioned here. Luckily, the caller wasn’t after her bank details, which he claimed were needed to process a £7,000 refund. He insisted he preferred a cheque instead, stating he wouldn't part with his banking information. He mentioned that they would send it through the post, but since then, we haven’t seen or heard a single thing. Please be cautious about this! It seems like they might be focusing on the elderly, so let’s spread the word, especially to our older friends and relatives!12 yearsWe recently received a call from this number and the chap on the other end was quite similar to what others have reported. In our particular case, a fellow who identified himself as Derek urged us to purchase a UCAS voucher for £299. When we asked him for some verification, specifically a confirmation that the call originated from within the UK-like an email or at least an address-he suddenly hung up. It’s essential to remember, when someone asks for your personal details over the phone, it’s best to tread carefully. And if you're instructed to ring a certain number back, do yourself a favour and verify it using services like these. Cheers!DerekUCASUK12 yearsI’ve come across someone claiming that we qualify for a £7,000 payout from the UK government.UK12 yearsReceived a call claiming to be from the British Council, stating that my partner is eligible for a £7,000 refund on council tax. They seemed to know my initials and address but nothing more. They urged us to call back immediately to claim the cash. Absolute nonsense!British Council13 yearsAbout a month ago, we received a call from someone claiming to be with the council tax department. They mentioned that my partner had supposedly won a sum of £7,000 and requested our date of birth and bank details. Then, just earlier today, the same individuals rang again, announcing that some officers would be visiting our home. They instructed us to prepare our passport and a Ukash voucher, assuring us that this was necessary to receive the winnings at our mailing address. When we pressed them for their identity and the purpose of their call, the woman on the other end simply asked if we wanted our money or not, and told us to call back on a specific number for further details.
