02081335394 Summary (Read all comments)
Phone number ☎️ 02081335394 👆 is reported as a persistent scam targeting UK residents, often the elderly, involving calls from individuals posing as Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) representatives claiming victims are owed thousands of pounds due to alleged bank overcharges. Callers insist that to receive a cheque, victims must first purchase a voucher - commonly a Paysafe or Google Play card - as a supposed tax payment, which scammers then redeem. Solicitors with various names are falsely promised to deliver the cheque in person. Multiple reports mention suspicious behaviour, such as unknown persons near victims' homes and repeated calls despite refusals. Authorities and genuine organisations do not require upfront payment via vouchers to release refunds, so these calls should be treated with caution and reported to the police or official fraud prevention services.
Reports on phone number 02081335394
4 yearsYesterday, I got a call from someone named Kelvin Bell who claimed I was due £3000 because of bank fees I’d been charged over quite some time. He was ringing from F ca and told me I needed to buy a “safe card” for £150, which was supposedly some kind of tax on the £3000. He said a solicitor would contact me soon, bring the cheque, and then stamp the card with an official government seal before handing over the money. I called my daughter about it and she warned me not to fall for it, said it sounded like a total scam.Kelvin Bell5 yearsI got a call from 00144475533682 saying I had £3000 waiting for me from my bank. They told me to buy a £150 voucher from a nearby store to cover some kind of tax, then ring them back on 02081335394 once I had the voucher. They said they'd come to my place to pick it up and hand over the papers and the £3000. I decided not to follow through with it, but not long after, I saw some odd folks hanging around outside my home.5 yearsMy mum in law, who’s 83, got a call from someone saying they had a £3,000 cheque to give her. They told her it’d be delivered the next day but she’d have to pay £175 as a kind of transaction charge to the person who came. The caller said the visitor would be a solicitor called Barbara Shaw. She’s pretty worried now since she reckons they must already know her address and is uneasy about them ringing up like that.Barbara Shaw5 yearsThat was Roy Morrison calling.Roy Morrison5 yearsMy elderly parents got the same call, like everyone's saying. They claimed £3000 owed with £150 overdue and warned someone would come to collect. The caller said the name Julie Shaw. We even hung about to see if anyone showed up, but thankfully no one did. It's quite worrying though, makes me think they might be marking them as easy victims now. Better be careful out there.Julie Shaw5 yearsGot a call from someone named Lisa, then Dave Kumar, both asking for an Amazon code. Told them I wouldn’t hand it over unless a solicitor showed up with the money. They kept calling and arguing, really pushy and quite rude too. Nearly got me there for a bit, but at least I still got my cards in the end.Dave KumarLisa WrongAmazon5 yearsTotal scam, don’t trust them!Fraudster5 yearsI recently received an incredibly pushy phone call from this number. The caller claimed that I was entitled to a £3500 cheque, which their solicitors would deliver in person. However, here's the catch: I was told that I needed to purchase a Paysafe voucher worth £175 to cover some supposed tax before receiving the paperwork and cheque. They went on about it being linked to a high court ruling concerning overpaid bank charges from before 2011, and insisted it had nothing to do with PPI at all! Sounds a bit fishy, doesn’t it?5 yearsBell KelvinKelvin Bell5 yearsRight now, folks up in North Wales should watch out, there’s some dodgy scammers going around trying to make a quick buck.North Wales5 yearsSomeone rang me claiming to be from the FCA, saying we had £3000 due from a bank overcharge. Then they ran through the same spiel that was mentioned by another person here. Gotta say, they were really insistent about it.FCA5 yearsGot a call from this number saying I could claim back £3,000. They asked me to pop down to PayPoint and grab a Paysafe card for £175, saying it was for some tax office payment. No cheques or online banking allowed, sounded fishy straight away to me. Definitely a scam in my opinion xxxxx5 yearsGot a call from someone called Roy Morrison claiming he was with some financial authority. He told me I'd been overcharged on a direct debit and had a refund of £2,500 coming. Kept going on about my bank and said I had to buy a Paysafe card before I could get a cheque. Then he mentioned a Mrs Barbara Shaw, who’s supposedly a government solicitor, would bring the cheque to my house the next day. But apparently, without the Paysafe voucher with a government stamp, I couldn’t receive the cheque. I told him flat out he was trying to scam me!Roy MorrisonBarbara Shaw5 yearsI had a rather peculiar conversation with a lady earlier today who claimed she was dispatching a cheque for £3,500. She mentioned that it would be with a solicitor by tomorrow morning and provided me with a phone number. Naturally, I decided to give it a ring back, and of course, she seemed quite taken aback that someone of my vintage had actually verified the number online. She pointed out that it was linked to some sort of government debt tied to the FCA. Quite the curious interaction, I must say!FCA5 yearsSomeone rang my folks claiming I’m due £3500 and to pay with a paysafe card. I told him I wasn’t convinced by his dodgy story, but he insisted it was legit and even said a solicitor would turn up in 20 minutes. That didn’t sit right with me at all. If it was real money, why wouldn’t he just hand over a cheque and let me sort the 5% tax? Made no sense to me. I’m planning to ring them back Monday, and keep at it every day after if I have to. If they think they can keep pestering me, I’m well within my rights to do the same to them.5 yearsSomeone called Kelvin Bell rang me claiming to be from the Financial Conduct Authority. Sounds suspicious to me.Kelvin BellFinancial Conduct Authority5 yearsGot a call from Lisa Wong on 0208 1335394 claiming to be from the FCA. She said I was due a £4000 refund for PPI but then said I needed to pay £125 for tax before they could send it. Felt a bit dodgy to me.Lisa WongFCA5 yearsReceived a call from someone saying they're from the FCA claims dept, name they gave was Enisa Abbi. They told me I'd get a cheque for £4400 but before that, I need to send over £220 using a Google Play card. Smells dodgy to me.ENISA ABBIFCA5 yearsJust like the call on 28th Jan, I got a call from Anisa Abbi using the exact same lines. I told her straight up she was a con artist, but she kept going anyway. I guess they must be getting some hits? She called me from 01415360057 and when I said it was a dodgy number she threw out 02081335394, claiming it was the FCA. They really seem to have their story down pat! The only thing they mess up on is the whole STEAM CARD nonsense.Anisa AbbiFCA5 yearsI recently received a dodgy message claiming that I'm due a reimbursement of £4,400 for some alleged bank fees, but they need me to fork out £220 in the form of a Google Play gift card first. Honestly, do they really believe we're that gullible?Google5 yearsGot a call from someone saying they were from the FCA, saying I was owed £2,500 for some old bank overcharge. They told me a solicitor would deliver a cheque but I needed to buy a £125 Paysafe voucher first to cover ‘tax’. When I pointed out it made no sense since the government usually takes tax before paying out, and that having the solicitor stamp the voucher to deposit it seemed off, they started making excuses about COVID rules and tossed the phone down when I said it all sounded dodgy. Pretty clear it’s a scam to me.FCA5 yearsI recently received a rather dubious call purportedly from the FCA, claiming that a solicitor would be delivering a refund cheque for some historical direct debit overcharge by my bank. However, they stated that I needed to purchase a Paysafe voucher for £125 to settle the tax fees associated with this refund. It absolutely reeks of a scam! Please be cautious and don’t fall for it!FCA6 yearsThis number seems to belong to Roy Morrison, connected to f.c.a. Not too sure what it’s about though.Roy Morrison6 yearsMy 87-year-old mother received a call claiming she had paid too much and was owed a refund. Thankfully, she reached out to me for guidance and provided the number that the lady instructed her to call back with the information.6 yearsMy mum, who’s 87, got a call saying she’d paid too much and was owed some cash. Thankfully, she rang me before doing anything and gave me the phone number the woman asked her to ring back on.6 yearsGot a call from Anisa Abbi claiming to be from the FCA. She said I’m meant to get £4400 back for bank fees. Then this solicitor, Julie Shaw, is supposed to bring me a cheque later today, but first I have to buy Amazon vouchers worth £220, which she said she’ll somehow stamp. Apparently, it’s for a 5% HMRC tax or something. She did mention I could opt for a bank transfer instead. She gave me this number to ring if I had any questions, so I checked it out.Anisa AbbiFCAJulie ShawAmazonHMRC6 yearsReceived a call claiming to provide a refund for my direct debit. I quickly searched the number on Google, stumbled upon this site, and promptly hung up on the caller before blocking the number.Google6 yearsI jus got a ring from someone saying they’re Manjit Singh and that the FCA is holding a cheque for me worth £2998.36. Seemed fishy to me right away.Manjit SinghFCA6 yearsI received a rather dubious call from someone purporting to represent the Government, saying they were organising compensation for my late husband regarding some unjust bank fees on his direct debits. They claimed that in order to proceed with the reimbursement after a solicitor would supposedly send over the cheque and necessary documents, I had to buy a Paysafe voucher for £125. They insisted this wasn't related to any PPI claims, stating instead that it was a High Court ruling related to the recent conclusion of PPI compensations. Quite fishy, if you ask me!GovernmentHigh Court6 yearsSome bloke called Roy Morrison told me I’d get a cheque for £2500, but first I needed to buy a paysafe card for £125 to cover the tax, which was supposedly going to be verified by a solicitor named Barbara Shaw. He said the bank would sort the tax once they had the voucher. It all sounded legit since I didn’t have to hand over cash directly, but when I looked up the number, I saw others had the same warning about it.Roy MorrisonBarbara Shaw6 yearsJust got a call from someone calling himself Roy Morrison from the FCA, saying I'd receive a cheque for £2500. I checked with the FCA and this guy isn't part of their team at all - it's totally a scam! They ask for the code on a Paysafe voucher, and once you give it, the money's gone even if you still hold the voucher. So be careful, it's definitely not legit!Roy MorrisonFCA6 yearsI just got a phonecall from some bloke, Roy Morrison, who said he's from the government. He was telling me that my bank charged me too much and that I’m due a £2500 refund. Apparently I have to pay some tax on it first, so he told me to buy a Paysafecard or something. Then he said this solicitor, Barbara Shaw, will visit me with the cheque. He told me to ring him again tomorrow once I have sorted the voucher, and he will arrange for the solicitor to come round to my house!Roy MorrisonBarbara Shaw6 yearsGot a call off some bloke named Tony Smith claiming to be from the FCA, said we were owed £3000 because of some bank fees mix up. Asked to speak to his manager, who he said was Adam Smith. Hung up pretty quick, seemed like total nonsense to me.Tony SmithFCAAdam Smith6 yearsReceived a rather concerning phone call directed at an older lady, pressuring her about some supposed tax voucher for £150. The caller insisted that a solicitor would come to her house to collect it. Quite alarming really, as they implied she risked losing out on £3000 if she didn't act swiftly.6 yearsGot a call from someone saying they were with my pension scheme and that all my pension funds had already been moved over. They wanted my bank details to send the money across, then gave me a number to ring them back. Definitely sounded dodgy.6 yearsGot a call from some bloke named Tony Smith saying Julie Green, a solicitor, is sorting me a £3000 cheque from the government because the bank’s been nicking money from me for the past 30 years. But first, he wanted me to buy a £150 Paysafe card. He gave me a claim number, pl5689, and a contact number, 0208 133 5394. Said I needed to get the voucher and ring back. Yeah, total scam - if his name’s Tony Smith then I’m definitely not Hamed Patel!Tony SmithJulie GreenEngland6 yearsSome bloke called Tony Smith rang me up with this thick Indian accent, saying he was from the FCA and that we'd been charged too much on bank rates. He said a solicitor would visit us, wearing full PPE because of Covid and all that. When we said no way while we’re in lockdown, he then tried saying he could just transfer the cash straight into our account if we gave him our bank details. Honestly, does he think we’re that daft?Tony SmithFCA6 yearsgot a call supposedly from the fca asking for my husband. I asked the caller his name and he said "tony smith" and gave me this number. but when I checked, the call was actually coming from 0121 270 8262, not the one he told me. bit fishy if you ask me.FCATony Smith6 yearsGot a call saying we were owed about £2,500 because of some illegal bank fees. They said a lawyer would come by with a cheque, but first we had to buy a Paysafe card to cover a 5% ‘tax’ to the government. They claimed the bank would send this tax payment after we cashed the cheque. It sounded dodgy to me, so I hung up after roughly 10 minutes. No calls have come back since then. I reckon this could be pretty risky.6 yearsSo, someone told me I’m owed £3999 but first I need to send £150 in a special envelope to some Costcutter store. Seemed a bit off to me.Cost CutterSubmit Your Own Report (020 8133 5394)
