2 yearsMy phone showed this call as a possible scam right away, so I just let it ring out. Instead of a number, it showed the name Finovace Business Technology. I had to press and hold to see the actual number so I could check online. Turns out, when I searched for the company, the UK government site said it was dissolved back in November 2021. So yeah, no question about it, it’s a scam for sure! I’m going to block them and report it now.Finovace Business TechnologyUK2 yearsI got a call from someone claiming to be Sky, but it was obvious it was a scam from some Indian call centre. They kept asking for my personal info, but I’m not even a Sky customer!Sky2 yearsGot a call from someone with an Indian accent claiming to be from Sky customer support.Sky2 yearsGot a call from someone claiming to be Sky, saying I could get 30% off. I told them I'd ring Sky myself later to grab the deal. Then this guy, with a strong Indian accent, pipes up with "Sir, this is a one-time offer." Made me laugh, what a muppet!Sky2 yearsGot a call from a number I didn’t recognise, said it was Finovace Business Technologies or something like that. Never come across that company before, so I just ignored it. Ended up blocking and reporting the number. Glad I didn’t pick up.Finovace Business Technologies2 yearsGot a call from a number I didn’t recognise - just ignored it and blocked after.2 yearsThe call claimed to be from AA, but the accent was totally off and the voice was clearly not English. Definitely felt like a dodgy scam trying to pull a fast one.6 yearsWoke up to my phone lighting up early this morning, around 3:45am, from a number that just came up as 5121? Tried to pick up but no one spoke. Not sure if it's connected to these lot though!7 yearsAbout half an hour back, I got a call from this number with someone speaking with an Asian accent. Just like others have mentioned, they claimed the Ministry of Justice owed me £3000 in back bank fees and asked how I wanted to get it. I played along, telling them I'd wait for another call next week. When they ring again, I’m definitely recording the chat but won’t share any personal info, obviously. Total scam, honestly. Ministry of Justice? Give me a break! What nonsense will they come up with next?Ministry of JusticeQueen7 yearsGot a call from someone claiming to be the Ministry of Justice, saying I was owed some cash. Seemed fishy to me.Ministry of Justice7 yearsGot a call from a bloke claiming to be from the "Justice Ministry," sounded Indian and even knew my name.

He ended the call straight away.Ministry of Justice7 yearsGot a call from some bloke claiming he was with the ministry of justice, saying the government was gonna send me £3000 the next day if I gave them my ID. I just said cheers but no, and ended the call.Ministry of Justice7 yearsI got a call from someone speaking with an Indian accent saying the UK government had given me £3,000.00. I said thanks a lot, that’s really kind of them, then I hung up.UK7 yearsHad a scam call from someone pretending to be a pen tester. I managed to shut down their computer and told them to take a long break somewhere sunny and far away. If I can mess with them, surely your phone company could do the same? I’m putting a video up on YouTube about it soon.7 yearsReceived a call at 09:31 this morning. My voicemail picked up, but they hung up abruptly without leaving any message. Quite odd!7 yearsGot a call from someone saying they were with 'Justice', but when I asked who exactly that was, they couldn’t really explain. I kept pressing a bit more and then they just ended the call.7 yearsMinistry of justice? More like a total rip off if you ask me. How come no one steps up to sort these lot out? It's about time someone took action against them.Ministry of Justice7 yearsGot a call from some woman claiming to be from the Ministry of Justice. She had a heavy accent and struggled with English.

Definitely a scam, don’t give them any of your info!Ministry of Justice7 yearsThis number 02081235121 rang me earlier. I hardly pick up unknown callers now, so I looked it up here. Turns out it’s linked to someone called David or Steve - both of which don’t sound familiar to me, and I doubt the MoJ just hands out cash like that. It’s a mess, really. Nothing will change as long as those in charge keep lining their pockets with bribes or run call centres overseas. Proper disgrace.DavidSteveMinistry of Justice7 yearsDidn't pick up, better check what others are saying.7 yearsGot a call claiming to be from the MOJ wanting to talk to my husband. When I said no, the lady started swearing at me and then just cut off. These calls are beyond annoying and honestly, they can do some serious harm if they get through to someone who’s vulnerable.

Seriously, how do these callers never quit?Ministry of Justice7 yearsJust like a few others here, I got a call from a bloke with an Asian accent claiming to be from the Ministry of Justice or something. Said I owed £3000 to my bank! I asked why the government was ringing me about my bank stuff and he didn’t reply properly.

Lucky he didn’t ask for my address or else that would've been a definite no too!Ministry of Justice7 yearsGot a dodgy call from some lady with an Asian accent claiming to be from the Ministry of Justice. She said they needed my bank details to send back £2500 or something.

It’s outrageous that these scammers can just carry on like this. Why aren’t the police sorting this out?Sam7 yearsSo, this person called saying they were from the Ministry of Justice and told me a bank had charged me too much. When I tried to find out which bank it was, they said they couldn’t tell me. I asked one more time and then they just ended the call. Quite fishy, if you ask me.Ministry of Justice7 yearsLike some others here, this person claimed someone had charged me too much. I couldn’t catch the name properly because their accent was so bad. I asked her a few times to repeat who supposedly overcharged me, but then she just cut the call off.7 yearsJustice Ministry? Not buying it. I told them to send me a letter instead, and said I'd be happy to accept a cheque if anything was owed. They just hung up after that.Ministry of Justice7 yearsGot a call from some bloke calling himself Christopher Lee, speaking with an Indian accent, saying I’d get £2500 and a woman named Julie would come round to copy my ID.

He said they were about to cut off my internet connection.7 yearsI’ve gone ahead and blocked the number after checking the details provided.7 yearsI got a call from someone claiming they were from the Ministry of Justice, saying I was due a refund on bank fees.

Cheers to all who shared their experiences!7 yearsAbout ten minutes ago I got a call from a woman with an Asian accent claiming she worked for the justice department and that I was owed £3,000 from the bank as an overpayment.

The number she called from was 02081235121, watch out!Asia7 yearsI was waiting for a call and ended up picking up just to get hassled by this Asian guy with a really pushy tone.

Stay well clear!Ministry of Justice7 yearsGot a call from an Asian lady, asked for me by name. Couldn't help but notice a lot of noise in the background, sounded like one of those call centres. She told me something about the Ministry of Justice giving me £3000. Apparently, a rep would deliver a cheque, but I needed to show ID first. She said the cash was mine, but I'd need to pay a 5% 'tax' fee, which was £150. From the beginning, I knew it was dodgy, but I played along a bit and asked her why the tax was only 5%. She started getting annoyed and said I had to listen, promising to explain everything.
