as soon as i picked up the phone, I just ended the call straight away.

I had just filed a fraud report when this woman rang me up, talking super fast, claiming she was from some fraud dept. She asked about stuff that made no sense with my situation, and when I sounded confused, she just cut me off and hung up straight away. Really odd.

I called the number 0300 123 2040 around 12:03 pm to report a scam. After I hung up, I noticed that another caller had joined the line at 12:29 pm. The extra number was 0208 0520 990. This all happened on Saturday, 30th October 2021.

This number keeps ringing me on my home phone and also on my partner’s mobile. We experienced a fraud attempt which we reported straight away to actionfraud and the banks involved. After that, we put the number on block. I’m no expert but think it’s possible actionfraud’s systems might’ve been compromised. At the very least, this number is a nuisance, maybe worse.

Since this number was flagged before, we decided not to pick up and just blocked it. Big thanks to 'who-called.co.uk' for the heads up!

this wasnt a scam or anything dodgy, just about some fraud stuff. they left me a voicemail and used my name because i'd told them about a fraud attempt a few months back. they were just ringing to follow up and have a quick 5 minute talk. i'll get back to them tomorrow since i already know who they are.

Had a call from a man who sounded like he was in his 30s or 40s, claiming to be from Fraud Action. He said he was following up because I’d asked for help after reporting a fraud back in April, which was about four months ago. Weirdly, he spoke with a clear, educated Scottish accent, and at that exact moment, we’d just arrived in Scotland for a holiday. When I asked him to give me specifics about the case, he said he couldn’t share that info, even though I’d ticked a box to be updated on the investigation’s progress. He offered to get back to me later or send an email sometime next week. I told him four months was a bit late to be offering support and that I didn’t need their help anymore. He sounded a little let down. Still can’t work out how he found out I made a fraud report if he wasn’t legit, unless there’s some sort of data leak in Fraud Action’s system.

**100% Legitimate Call** Honestly, it’s a bit ridiculous how many people are quick to call this a scam without even bothering to *verify* with Action Fraud. I just rang them myself a little while ago and can confirm this number actually belongs to Action Fraud. Turns out it’s their Victim Support Line. They don’t take incoming calls but will phone you up to three times to get in touch. If you got the call, it’s because you opted in on your original AF report to get further support. Sometimes they reach out months after your initial complaint, so it’s understandable if you’ve forgotten about it. But it’s not hard to do a quick fact-check. When they leave a voicemail, they’ll give their first name and mention your full name plus the date you filed your report. They’ll also tell you when they plan to call again, usually a day or so later. A good way to double-check it’s legit is to ask them for your AF Report Reference Number and cross-reference it with your details on the Action Fraud website. A fraudster wouldn’t be able to get any of these facts right. Honestly, some folks really don’t seem to use any common sense. 🙄

This is for real. It’s from the AF - the Victim Contact Officer reaching out since you asked for help when you filled out your AF Report. They might not be actual cops, so they probably won’t give you any updates about legal stuff, if there even is any going on when they get in touch.

This isn’t someone trying to scam you. If you had bothered to contact AF, you’d see it’s the AF Victim Contact Centre calling.

got a call saying i was in big trouble for fraud and the global police were after me. called my local cops and they told me it was definitely a scam. they said if there was real trouble, they’d come to my house, not just ring me up. also, don’t hit 9 on the keypad, they just want to scam your cash.

Got a call supposedly from Action Fraud, but the bloke had this thick Scottish accent that I just couldn’t catch. Ended up not understanding anything he said.

I've had this number ring me a few times, but my phone flagged it as possibly dodgy and advised me not to pick up. It says they've left a voicemail, but when I check, it's just dead silence with no message at all.

Got a call earlier claiming to be from Acton Fraud. The person rattled off details about a scam from a few months back that we already knew about. Definitely sounded like they were reading from a script. Spoke really quickly with a thick Glaswegian accent. Don’t get caught out by this one!

Got a call from someone saying they were from Action Fraud, offering to give me advice about scams. They asked me to provide "any account as an example" which sounded really fishy to me.
