Phone number ☎️ 02081237353 👆 is reported as a persistent and well-organised scam masquerading as calls from the Ministry of Justice, claiming victims are owed compensation for PPI or bank overcharges. Callers often use English aliases and pressure individuals to purchase UKASH vouchers as a supposed tax payment before receiving a cheque. The Ministry of Justice confirms they do not make such calls, and banks would not demand upfront payments or tax in this manner. Victims report aggressive follow-up calls, requests for personal information, and threats or rude behaviour when challenged. This scam has led to financial losses and is actively investigated by police and Action Fraud. Recipients are strongly advised not to engage, never disclose voucher codes, and report any suspicious contact immediately.

11 yearsi got a call from a guy with an asian accent who said he was nigel cole from the ministry of justice. he claimed i was entitled to £2500 from the government for some ppi thing. sounded fishy to me, pretty sure it’s a scam. if you receive a call like this, try to gather as many details as possible and report it to action fraud. they said they’re treating these cases seriously. i went ahead and gave my statement earlier, but the more people report, the better chances they catch them.Nigel ColeMinistry of JusticeAction Fraud12 yearsThis morning I received a call from this number, someone claiming to be Nigel Cole saying they were from the Ministry of Justice and wanted to refund me for overpaid bank fees. It sounded off straight away because surely the Ministry of Justice wouldn’t be calling people to give out compensation like that. I pushed back and asked for their email and office location, but they refused to share any details, saying it was for security reasons. Definitely a scam. They didn’t even get around to mentioning vouchers, but I reckon that was their next move. Watch out, folks!Nigel ColeMinistry of Justice12 yearsI recently got call from someone claiming to help with my PPI, but they wanted me to buy cash vouchers worth hundreds! Sounds like one of those dodgy MOJ PPI scams trying to scam folks out of money. Watch out for these tricks!MOJ12 yearsI had a call from someone claiming to be Neil from the 'Ministry of Justice' earlier. They obviously think we’re well gullible! Just like others have said, they reckoned I’m owed £2200 in bank penalties. They wanted me to pay £220 in U Kash vouchers to cover some kind of tax. When I pointed out that any tax refund would be handled automatically if it was genuine, he said he needed to check with his manager for a better explanation. That’s when I just ended the call. After that, I got like five more calls back to back but didn’t answer. I even suggested they could post me the £2200 cheque first, and once that cleared, I’d send the £220. They weren’t having any of it… bit fishy, innit?NeilMinistry of Justice12 yearsPicked up the phone and could hear some noises behind, but no one actually said anything. Then suddenly the call just got cut off.12 yearsGot calls from this bloke named Colin Brown, keeps saying I’m owed £4200 from some PPI claim. Wants me to get £240 worth of UKash vouchers to sort out HMRC stuff. I asked loads of questions but he still insists he’s legit, even dropped an MOJ address from Petty France, Westminster. How do these scammers keep getting funds to make all these calls, honestly? He rang me again at 5pm today after I looked up his info - honestly, what a total muppet.Colin BrownHMRCMOJPettyFranceWestminster12 yearsJust a heads up, Dominic Paul tries to get you to pay with those UKash vouchers you have to buy first. They claim they’re from the Ministry of Justice, but don’t believe a word they say. Best to avoid dealing with them altogether.Ministry of Justice12 yearsI got a call from some bloke named Dominic Paul, saying he was from the Ministry of Justice. He claimed I was owed a refund from something called UKCASH, but then told me I had to pay upfront! Totally a scam, don’t get caught by this one!Dominic PaulMinistry of JusticeUKCASH12 yearsToday, someone rang me pretending to be from the ministry of justice. I told him straight up that I didn’t trust him and that I’ve never had a bank account. He accused me of lying and then wished me a terrible day, saying it was Friday the 13th. Honestly, it made me chuckle.Ministry of Justice12 yearsI got a call from some bloke claiming to be Nigel Cole from the Ministry of Justice, said my missus was due £2700 from Lloyds TSB. He told me to buy three UKASH vouchers worth £270 altogether and then send that plus the cheque we’d supposedly get from some local “lawyer” back into our bank. Seemed fishy as hell! My wife’s never taken out a loan, so there’s no way this is legit. Proper scam if you ask me!Nigel ColeMinistry of JusticeLloyds TSB12 yearsSomeone called me trying to trick me out of cash, total scam.12 yearsGot phone calls from this number like 5 times in one day. Some bloke called Jim Taylor was on the line, trying to get me to buy a Ukash voucher from a nearby shop or something. I just stopped answering after a bit and decided to look him up here. Proper thankful for this site, really saved me from a dodgy situation!Jim Taylor12 yearsGot totally ripped off by these bastards, what a nightmare.12 yearsToday, my mum got harrassed by this number, they rang her like three times in just an hour. Some bloke calling himself “Jim Taylor” from a supposed “Government dept” told her she’s owed £2200. He even said he was from 102 Petty France, Westminster. After seeing the reviews here and clocking it as a scam, I didn’t waste time and reported it straight to Action Fraud who are now sorting it out.Jim TaylorPettyFrance WestminsterAction Fraud12 yearsWithout a doubt, it’s a scam. I rang up the Ministry of Justice earlier to check if "Michael Cooper" is actually one of their staff. They said they’ve never come across him and mentioned their department is being exploited in this fraud. Every single time "Michael" phoned (and he was really pushy) he claimed the compensation amount kept increasing. He now says it’s £10,000. I don’t think they’re even in the UK, probably somewhere like India. The cops have been told and are looking into it.Ministry of JusticeMichael CooperMichaelUKIndia12 yearsSome close mates of mine recently got ripped off for £750 by these scammers. They were so smooth and convincing. Never, ever get involved in any chat with them. And don’t even think about handing over those voucher codes. Make sure you tell the cops and your local trading standards folks. To the scammers reading this - beware, you won’t slip away with this!12 yearsJust before Christmas, my grandma got conned out of £240. After she sent the money, they told her she was owed a bigger refund and then asked for an extra £200 in tax. Luckily, my gran realised it was dodgy and told them she couldn’t pay any more, then reported it to the police. They’re now looking into these cheats.12 yearsAbout ten minutes ago I got a call from this number. While I was still chatting on the phone, I decided to look up the number. Seeing some of these messages made me tell the bloke named Neil Cole that I want any payments paid straight into my bank, then I hung up. He tried ringing back but I just didn’t pick up. I’m hoping he’s got the hint that I’m not interested.Neil Cole12 yearsGot a call from this number as well, and I’m pretty sure it’s a scam. Don’t fall for their clever tricks. If the bank owed you anything, they wouldn’t be calling you from the Ministry of Justice, plus any tax should already be deducted before you get paid. Stay safe, folks!Ministry of Justice12 yearsBeware, this bloke is definitely a scammer - I’ve reported him twice to Action Fraud already. He’s really pushy and just won’t quit, always trying to convince you. Sounds legit at first, but don’t be fooled. He’s Asian, but he’ll use an English name to sound more trustworthy. A few things to keep in mind here: despite what he claims, the Ministry of Justice doesn’t ring people up to tell them they’re owed money. If you’ve been charged too much by your bank, it’s the bank who handles that, not the Ministry. Also, banks usually don’t charge fees for direct debits unless it’s for a business account. He’ll tell you there’s a 10% tax to pay on a cheque, but that’s nonsense - any tax on money going into your account would’ve been dealt with already at source.Action FraudMinistry of Justice12 yearsGot a call from someone claiming they were from the ministry of justice. Same old story as usual.Ministry of Justice12 yearsThis bloke calls me daily saying he's from the ministry of justice, claiming I've got £2000 waiting for me. But before I can get it, I need to cough up 10% in taxes. Wish it was legit, but it's just a load of rubbish - total scam, stay clear!Ministry of Justice12 yearsgot a call from someone saying they were from the ministry of justice, trying to help with a finance application or something. bit weird, wasnt expecting it.Ministry of Justice12 yearsGot a call from someone claiming they were with the Ministry of Justice - I seriously doubt it was legit. Definitely felt like another one of those scams!Ministry of Justice12 yearsThis number keeps ringing my phone like twice every day, its really annoying. The phone company should do something to block it, thanks!12 yearsI received a call from this number, claiming to be from the government. They mentioned that there are funds available for me, but first, I need to purchase a £220 voucher. Sounds fishy, doesn't it?12 yearsAbout ten minutes back, I got a call from this number.12 yearsThis number called me claiming to be “James” from the Ministry of Justice, but honestly, he definitely didn’t sound like the bloke he said he was. When I asked for the office address, he mentioned 102 Petty France. He then told me he’d be sending a “solicitor” over with a cheque for £2,600 as a refund for some bank fees I supposedly paid. I told him to keep his cheque to himself. I also warned that if a solicitor showed up at my door, the police’d be waiting. That seemed to scare him off, because he quickly wished me well and hung up!JamesMinistry of JusticeFrance12 yearsTotally a scam!
