02081333571 Summary (Read all comments)

Phone number ☎️ 02081333571 👆 is reported as a persistent scam originating from an overseas call centre, often featuring callers claiming to represent the Ministry of Justice or other government departments. They falsely promise bank charge refunds or loan overpayments, typically around £2,500 to £3,600, and attempt to obtain personal or financial details. Calls often target the elderly and vulnerable, employ aggressive or confusing tactics, and may demand payment via gift or prepaid cards under the guise of tax or fees.

The scam is well-documented, with consistent warning signs including requests for bank details, insistence on in-person cheque deliveries, and pressure to pay upfront. Users are advised not to engage, block the number, and report such calls to authorities for fraud investigation.

Got a call with the same kind of info as before, they even had my name and address right but I never said it was ok. I kept them hanging for a bit. Now I’m thinking maybe I should hang around to see if the solicitor actually turns up with a cheque or something.

Got a call from a young Asian bloke claiming to be from some government agency, telling my elderly mate she’d been charged too much by her bank and was owed a refund. When she asked how he knew that as she’s pretty careful with her bank statements, he got all rude and pushy. She quickly spotted it was a scam and ended the call. The scary part is, not all older folks would be as sharp about these things.

I am constantly receiving calls from individuals of Asian descent who claim to be from the Ministry of Defense. These callers have knowledge of my postcode, which raises concerns about how they obtained this information. It is ludicrous that these people are allowed to engage in such activities. Clearly, this is a scam, as they persistently inquire about my deceased parents. I am perplexed as to how they obtained their names. Could they possibly be searching the voters' register?

Got a call from a guy with an Asian accent who said his name was Tom Smith. He told me to nip to Sainsbury’s and grab a £150 iTunes voucher. Then, apparently, a woman named Julie Green would turn up to collect it, and they promised to pay me £3000 in return. I’ve reported this whole thing to Sussex Police now.

These individuals are extremely bothersome and engaging in fraudulent activities. They falsely claim to possess a cheque for you, but only if you pay them £150 first. I urged them to provide me with the cheque and assured them that they could receive the money once it cleared. However, the individual insisted that they were from the Ministry of Justice, which is yet another falsehood.

Got a call from a bloke with an Indian accent sayin I was getting £2500 sent by cheque since I refused to share my bank info - bit of a laugh really! He had an outdated address with the postcode wrong but somehow knew the loan stuff and the year. Didn’t confirm anything with him tho. He got all annoyed and ended the call when I wouldn't give any more details. He claimed it was because of some government scheme after a court decision! Total scammer, gonna block the number for sure.

Had a call from a guy who sounded Indian, and honestly, I’m over these calls now. Instead of answering, I just kept quiet while he kept saying hello a few times. Eventually, I cranked up the radio so he could hear that instead. Much better than losing my temper! Funny enough, it was Mad World by Tears for Fears playing!

Just like many folk here, I got a call from someone saying they were from the Ministry of Justice, telling me I was due a refund cheque for £3,600 (that amount seems to be the norm!). They threw in a plot twist saying a solicitor would show up with the cheque in person. Seemed a bit fishy to me. When I asked for details about the bank the refund was coming from, she couldn’t give me a straight answer. I kept her chatting for a bit, then told her outright I wasn’t buying any of it.

Received a call from a woman with a foreign accent claiming to be from the Ministry of Justice. She said my bank had taken too much money and that they wanted to give me a refund. When asked how I wanted it paid, I said by cheque. Then she suddenly wanted my bank info. I told her that’s personal and I wouldn’t share that over the phone, insisting a cheque would be fine. She got really annoyed I wouldn’t hand over my details. Total scam! Don’t fall for it, they’re just after your bank info!

Today, 30th October 2018, I got a call from this number. The person claimed the bank had reached out about a refund and said I was due £2000. They wanted my bank info, but I told them to just post a cheque instead. After that, they abruptly ended the call. About thirty minutes later, I received another call, same story but this time it was for my son. It’s clear they’re trying to con people.

Some bloke rang up saying he was from the government's claims management team. He told me my refund had been approved and that I was owed £3,600. Problem is, I’ve never made any claim myself, but apparently my bank had applied on my behalf. I couldn’t help but laugh, and then he claimed he was from the ministry of justice, asking how I’d prefer the money - cheque or straight to my bank. Total con, obviously just trying to trick me into handing over my bank details.

A gentleman named Simon Miller, who identified himself as a member of the Ministry of Justice, thoroughly looked into my personal information. He seemed to have knowledge about everything. He informed me that a lady called Julie Shaw would be contacting me today to deliver a cheque worth £3000. However, he mentioned that I would need to pay a 5% tax amounting to £150. In case I encountered any difficulties, he instructed me to call 02071936402. Just as he was about to transfer me for an appointment, I abruptly ended the call. Surprisingly, within moments, I received another call. Tempted not to answer, I allowed the call to go to voicemail. It turned out to be a female caller providing instructions to contact a different number, mentioning that Barclays had £2460 for me. I chose not to contact them and have archived the message on my voicemail.

On 19 October 2018 at approximately 2 pm, my elderly mother, who is 80 years old, received a phone call. The caller identified himself as Suraj Kumar, an Asian gentleman claiming to be from the Ministry of Justice. Mr. Kumar informed her that she was eligible to receive £2500 and that a solicitor named Julie Green would be visiting her at 4 pm with a cheque. However, there was a catch involving a gift card called All4One. In order to proceed, my mother would be required to pay a cancellation fee of £200, which she declined. When she questioned the legitimacy of the situation and challenged it as a possible scam, Mr. Kumar became verbally abusive and even threatened to visit her in person the following day. This incident serves as a reminder that one should be cautious of offers that seem too good to be true as they often turn out to be scams. It is important to remember that there is no such thing as receiving something for nothing.

Got a call from someone saying his name was Peter White claiming to be from MOJ. He was telling me I’d been overcharged on bank fees and some other stuff, and apparently I’d be getting a cheque for £3500. He mentioned that a lady from MOJ would ring me at 6pm that evening to deliver the cheque. He advised me to pick up a One4All card first, then go to my bank or building society to cash it, saying it would only take about 24 hours. The phone number he gave was 02081333571. Felt a bit dodgy to me.

I just wasted a good 18 mins talking to someone called ‘Jean Porter’ claiming to be from the Ministry of Justice in London, saying I was owed a £3000 refund for an overpaid loan. She told me to pop to the Post Office and pay some tax with a one4all card, then a solicitor named Mr Nigel Cole would drop off my cheque later. Even after I mentioned other folks’ experiences here, she carried on like nothing. In the end, she just hung up on me. It’s crazy how these scams still get through - surely someone should be putting an end to this, it’s just not right.

I got two calls from someone claiming to be from the Financial Ombudsman Service, or something like that. The first time, they spoke to my wife - she's a bit more trusting than I am - and ended up chatting away for a few minutes. Luckily, she didn’t give any of her info before ending the call. Not long after, the same person rang back asking why we’d ended the call. They tried to convince us the line was monitored by the government and that the call was totally legit. I couldn’t stop myself from laughing down the phone before I just hung up.

Got a call from these lot again, just like loads of others have said. Last time it was about some iPhone voucher or whatever. I don’t get how this number is still up and running even after being reported to Action Fraud, the police, BT and all that. Pretty rubbish they’re allowed to keep ringing.

Some folks mentioned getting calls saying a bank owed them about £2500, and that a cheque would be delivered to their home. Then they said I had to pay £125 in tax using an iTunes card. The bloke introduced himself as Tony Smith from Claims Reduction Management. When I told him he was a scammer, he didn’t take it well and phoned me straight back after I’d ended the call, still pushing the same nonsense. I’ve reported it to trading standards now.

Got a call from someone named Tony Smith claiming to be from the "Financial Ombudsman Service". He said my wife should get £2500 back for some bank fees, and that a solicitor would drop by tomorrow with a cheque. But then he told us to pop to the Post Office to get a 1 for All Black Card and load it with £125, which he called some kind of tax on the refund! Obviously, we weren’t buying any of it. I was on a different phone listening in and told him we’d be reporting it straight to the ICO. Total rubbish.

Like loads of others have said, he told me his name was Simon Miller. He claimed a solicitor would show up at 3pm with a cheque for me. I kept him on the line for nearly 20 minutes, even telling him I wanted my son there when the cheque arrived. I fibbed and said my son worked for the fraud unit, but he didn’t seem bothered and kept chatting away. I looked up the ministry online and saw a warning about this kind of scam, and I even read the alert out loud to him.

Just like the others mentioned here, the guy said his name was Simon Miller. He claimed a solicitor would visit my place at 3pm to deliver a cheque. I managed to keep him on the phone for 19 minutes, even told him I’d want my son there when the cheque arrived. I fibbed and said my son is with the fraud squad, yet he still kept going. I even looked up the ministry online and found a warning about scams, which I read straight to him.

I got a call from a guy claiming to be from the ministry of justice. He said I was due £3000 because of some overpaid bank fees and that someone would bring the cheque to my place later that day. The guy sounded very convincing and kept insisting. He even gave me a reference number and asked when would suit me for the delivery. It’s definitely a scam, I don’t understand what they’re trying to pull. I’ve also had calls from BT, the Inland Revenue, and now this one. These nuisance calls really need to be stopped.

Got a call from someone claiming to be the Ministry of Justice, saying I’m due £3,000 through a solicitor who’s supposed to come round with a cheque. I told them I didn’t want any visits. Then I reported it to Action Fraud, who told me these calls often come from places like South Asia and Africa. They said they’d be passing the info to the police.

Got a call from a bloke with an Asian accent claiming to be from the Ministry of Justice. I chuckled a bit and he didn’t seem too happy about it, ended up hanging up on me. Tried ringing back the same number but it just went straight to voicemail. Honestly, the phone providers need to keep an eye on these reports. If there are loads of complaints like this, they should just shut the number down for abusing the phone system. If the cops aren’t interested in acting, at least block their way to annoy people.

I usually let most calls on my landline go to voicemail nowadays. It’s a shame we live in a time where you’re wary about picking up your own phone. The ones who support these call centres should honestly be held accountable. Even though the callers probably realise they’re up to no good, I bet they’re earning better than some other jobs. Still, they’re part of the problem and can’t be trusted.

I just got a call from this number about 5 minutes ago. It was an individual from another country, and I immediately recognized it as a scam. I promptly told him to leave me alone in strong terms, and he responded by saying inappropriate things. In response, I loudly blew a whistle into the phone, causing him to hang up. It's unfortunate that there isn't any assistance available to prevent vulnerable people from falling prey to these scams by disconnecting these numbers.

A woman introduced herself as a representative from the Ministry of Justice and mentioned that they would be sending a government solicitor to my house with a cheque of £3000. The cheque was supposedly a bank refund from Lloyds, with whom I have a dispute. However, her intentions seemed suspicious and now it seems clear that it was indeed a scam. They were supposed to visit me this morning, so it might turn out to be an interesting situation. By the way, the police showed no interest in my report!

On the 3rd of October 2018, at 3:03 PM, I received a call from someone claiming to be from a government department. They informed me about potential overcharging by my bank and mentioned a refund of £1,500. However, I was skeptical about the legitimacy of the call. I requested an address to send a written claim for the refund, but the line suddenly disconnected. It seems to be a scam.

I said thanks and asked where to send a claim to get the money. Then, just like that, the phone went dead. Looks like a proper scam, so watch out!

Received a call purportedly from the Ministry of Justice, but it sounded like I’d reached a bustling call centre instead. I had my doubts about the authenticity of the caller, so I decided to hang up. It’s well known that the Ministry doesn’t reach out via phone; any communication would come in the form of a letter. Quite dodgy, if you ask me!

Got a call from some bloke overseas who claimed he had a £2500 cheque and wanted me to buy stuff from big supermarkets like Tesco or Morrisons. I told him I’m on the Isle of Man, and we don’t have those big chains here. Then he said he’d check with his manager and ring me back in ten minutes. Something about the whole thing didn’t sit right with me. Later, I found this website and saw someone else had the exact same conversation with a guy just like that. It’s really upsetting how phone scams make us scared to pick up the phone these days.

Absolute scam! They managed to trick my elderly mum into thinking she’d get a cheque if she bought a £75 Tesco gift card. She even got a taxi to Tesco herself! Thankfully, the manager there stopped her from buying it just in time. We’ve reported it to the police, but now my poor mum’s terrified to be on her own at home. What utter scoundrels!

I got a call from someone claiming to be with the Inland Revenue, asking me to transfer money to an account right away to unlock some funds supposedly owed to me. I rang the Inland Revenue myself and they told me they never phone anyone - all communications come through letters sent to your home. Please don’t share any info with these people, they’re definitely scammers trying to steal your bank details and cash. You should never have to pay money to get paid - it’s like paying your employer just to get your wages! These lot are seriously dodgy!
