I've checked with Newham, and they confirmed that this number doesn't belong to them at all.

I got a call from 02080495720 and I’m not entirely certain if it’s from Newham, so I’ve sent them an email to check. Since my number is ex-directory, I usually just put my mobile on websites when they ask for a contact number. It was a bit odd to get a call on my landline, but it could be the Newham Covid team getting in touch. For anyone thinking an evening ring might be dodgy, keep in mind they probably figure you’re at work during the day and it'll disturb you less to call later. Once I hear back from them, I’ll update whether this is legit or not.

I reached out to Newham Council about this issue since the caller claims to be representing Newham with regard to Covid. However, I strongly suspect this is not a legitimate call from Newham; it feels like a phishing scam to me. Proceed with caution!

I got a call from some dodgy number, it was definitely a scam. Not falling for it again!

I received a similar call, although I'm nowhere near Newham. My number is completely unlisted as it’s solely for online use. I was quite taken aback when my phone rang, which raised immediate suspicions. It’s definitely not to be trusted; it reeks of a scam. I strongly advise against sharing any personal details-once they have your info, it could lead to all sorts of trouble. Stay alert and safeguard your information!

Received a call from this number earlier, some woman claiming she was ringing for the NHS about a covid19 survey. Honestly, if you pick up and get a bit fed up, just mess around and don’t give any real details. Looks like a total scam to me.

this number rang me and a woman claimed she was from newham council. she sounded quite polite but i told her i was tied up at the moment. she kept on saying she’d ring back at a better time and asked me to specify when that would be. since i couldn’t give her a time, she said she’d just give it another go later. i’ve gone and blocked the number now.

Rang me around 9 in the evening, but as soon as I picked up, they dropped the call. How bizarre!

Rang in just before 9 this evening, following a trio of earlier calls that made me sit up and take notice. The individual enquired in a distinct voice, “Good evening, I’m Michael Gold calling in relation to form ff1 from the Department of Work and Pensions. Might I speak to ************, please?” Naturally, I ended the call right away. The tone and the pre-recorded spiel bore an uncanny resemblance to the previous three attempts. Clearly, it’s some sort of automated message. One does wonder about their intentions, especially considering that my partner, my mother-in-law, and I all received similar calls on the same night-certainly raises eyebrows! Wishing everyone remains vigilant. Scams are always a blight, but given the current circumstances we’re all facing, it’s utterly revolting!

I’m a bit puzzled but this number rang me around 8:10 pm, which seemed strange. I decided to just block it in the end.

I got a ring from 0208 049 5720 claiming to be from the health and social services of Newham, inquiring about Covid and wanting to ask me some questions. I politely declined, but they kept insisting on calling me back. It really felt dodgy since I’m not even a resident of Newham.

I recently received a call from this number. The chap on the other end was quite courteous, inquiring whether I resided in Newham. However, it struck me as odd, and I felt a wave of suspicion wash over me. I promptly replied with a polite, "No thank you, I'm a bit pressed for time," and decided to block the number immediately. Best to be safe!

Saw a missed call from this number and rang back, only got an automated message saying they’d get back to me at some point.

Received a ring from this number earlier, the lady said she was checking in on covid stuff in Newham, assuming I lived there. I don’t though. She came across as quite polite and sounded like it was a real survey about the virus. If I’d had a bit more time, I might have carried on with the chat, because I’m curious about what they’re up to with covid. Heard Newham’s being used as a sort of trial area for the track and trace programme, I think they called it that first!

Just got a call around 8.30pm from a woman claiming to be from some government office. Who makes official calls that late? Sounds dodgy to me, so I ended the call straight away. Definitely a scam.

He gave me a ring and started asking about the covid app, then wanted to know if I still lived in Newham. I said I’ve actually moved now. After that, he asked for my name and email, but that was the end of it really.

just a heads up, dont answer calls from these numbers, its a scam. real council or government folks only ever get in touch by sending letters. keep that in mind!

He called and claimed to be from some company but never actually mentioned which one. Then he started asking for my bank details, saying he needed to verify something. Definitely dodgy, total scammer.

I honestly don’t know if this is some kind of prank or what. Every time I pick up, the call just drops immediately. I’ve blocked that number, but then another one rings and does the exact same thing. It’s really annoying!
