I just got a call from someone claiming to be the Chinese Embassy. It sounded fishy right away. The number that showed up on my phone was 02072994049, which is supposedly the London office. I have no idea how they managed to display the real Chinese Embassy’s number, but it’s definitely a scam. Be careful!

I received a call as well, where they inquired about my health in relation to COVID. They purported to be from the Chinese Embassy, so I mentioned that I'd reach out to the embassy directly to verify if the consular department was indeed making such calls. At that point, they promptly ended the conversation. It's clearly a scam.

Received a rather peculiar call earlier today. The chap on the other end asserted he was ringing from the Chinese Embassy and, to my astonishment, he was aware of my complete name. As soon as he delved into inquiries about my health, a strong sense of suspicion hit me, prompting my decision to end the conversation abruptly. Truth be told, the only instance where I’ve shared my UK phone number along with my full name in Chinese was during the passport renewal process at the embassy. This has led me to seriously ponder if my personal data has been mishandled or even sold by someone working there.

Received a ring from this number inquiring about my Covid jab status and overall wellbeing. I enquired if he could verify my complete name since he mentioned my mother's surname instead of my own. Without missing a beat, he insisted that the Chinese embassy wouldn’t divulge anyone’s full identity and said I should share my full name if I wanted to verify anything. He even cheekily suggested that I look up the number he was calling from. Quite the laugh, right? Clearly a dodgy scheme, so folks, stay vigilant!

I received numerous calls from this particular number before I decided to block it entirely. It belongs to the Chinese Embassy, but as quite a few folks have mentioned, they're only set up to make outgoing calls. They kept insisting that I was somehow involved in money laundering or that there were problems with my visa, and it truly became tiresome. Do exercise caution if you encounter them; it seems that even a brief answer followed by an immediate hang-up may prompt them to ring you back repeatedly!

My partner got a rather alarming call from this number, claiming to be from the Chinese Embassy, saying her social security number had been misused for medical treatment in Guangzhou. Strangely enough, this same individual had rung previously from a different number, suggesting we verify the call on the Embassy's official site, which apparently matched the one they were using. It's clear to us that this is a scam, with the culprits cleverly disguising their caller ID to appear trustworthy. Fortunately, we didn’t fall for it, but it seems quite likely they were fishing for my partner to transfer money to some sort of "escrow account" while they sorted out who had supposedly received the treatment. They went on about potential legal actions, passport revocation, hefty fines, and jail time-all quite ridiculous threats, really!

I decided to push for some clarity and asked him where he was ringing from and what he needed with my friend, but he totally dodged my questions and refused to elaborate. The chap communicated in Mandarin, and his voice was oddly monotone and flat-almost as if it could have been generated by a machine. Quite peculiar, if you ask me!

This morning, I received a rather peculiar call from this number. The person on the other end was speaking Mandarin and claimed I hadn’t provided updates on my Covid status. Now, considering I haven’t set foot outside the UK in over a year and a half, I found it rather odd. They recommended I get in touch with the police, and then they connected me to someone purporting to be a police officer, but he had such a laid-back tone; it struck me as quite unusual. So, I did a bit of digging online and it appears this may be part of a familiar scam.

It seems that this phone number is linked to the Chinese embassy, yet it operates solely as an inbound line-meaning it can only receive calls and cannot dial out. If you do happen to get a call from this number, be wary! Scammers have some rather dubious tech that allows them to manipulate caller ID, making it look like the call is coming from here. In reality, it's not the embassy in London reaching out to you; it's just another scammer playing tricks! Stay vigilant!
