02081569856 Summary (Read all comments)
Phone number ☎️ 02081569856 👆 is reported as a persistent nuisance scam involving calls from an individual claiming to represent government departments or financial authorities, offering refunds of thousands of pounds allegedly from overcharged bank fees. The caller often demands a commission fee, personal identification, or purchase of gift cards like Amazon vouchers before releasing any cheque or payment. Many users note the calls come from an Asian-accented voice, hang up when questioned, or leave no voicemail. Victims report attempts to gain sensitive bank details or arrange home visits posing as official representatives. Several warn about risks to elderly people and stress the calls are untrustworthy, with no legitimate contact or paperwork ever provided. The consensus is a well-known fraudulent operation relying on fear and false promises.

7 years02081569856 called me again, some guy with an Indian accent saying the bank messed up and overcharged me by £3000. He asked if I wanted the money put back into my account - absolutely not! I told him to send me a cheque instead. He said he’d send someone over within a couple of hours with it but then told me I’d have to pay a 5% fee to get the cheque. Total scam, stay clear!7 yearsGot a call from a number I didn’t recognise but no voicemail left. Really appreciate those who warn us about scam calls like these. Makes you stay alert!7 yearsI didnt pick up and there wasnt any voicemail left on my answering machine. Based on what I read here, I figured it was probably a scam. Cheers to everyone who shares their experiences!7 yearsGuys, seriously, never ever hand out your bank info to calls like this. My grandad, he’s 94, and he almost got caught up giving his details. They claim they’re from the bank, but if you’re unsure just say you’ll call the bank back. Don’t use the number they give you, use the one on your statement or official paperwork. It’s just another scam, like the ones loads of folks have mentioned here. Stay safe!7 yearsJust got a call from someone named Sam Speed looking for my husband. When I asked why he was calling, he said it was about some extra fees on our bank account. Since my husband wasn’t here, he said he’d ring back later. I told him not to bother because he’s obviously a scammer... and then he just hung up on me! These kinds of calls are getting out of hand and seriously, something has to be done about them soon.Sam Speed7 yearsJust got a call from this number, bloke with an Asian accent (maybe Pakistani, but don’t want to jump to conclusions) claiming to be Sam Speed from the FCA’s Claims team. He said Halifax had sorted out £8000 of interest I was overcharged on my mortgage. When I asked him to email me instead since I’m abroad in the Middle East, he just cut the call off. Is the FCA cracking down on this stuff or what? If not, why on earth not???Sam SpeedFinancial Conduct AuthorityClaims DivisionHalifaxMiddle EastFCA7 yearsA man with an Asian accent called claiming to be Roy Morrison. He said I was owed £3000 from TSD Bank and insisted he was from the Ministry of Justice. He was quite pushy and rude. I told him to send me something in writing because I was about to hang up.Roy MorrisonTSD BankMinistry of Justice7 yearsGot a call from 02081569856, some bloke claiming to be from a government office saying I had money waiting from the bank. When they asked for my personal info, I just hung up. I asked them why I hadn’t received any letter about it first, but they dodged the question. Definitely felt a bit dodgy to me.7 yearsGot a call earlier telling me I’m about to receive a big cheque. Didn’t give them any info, not that I would've anyway. They said they'd ring back on Monday to sort out a delivery time. Honestly, not getting my hopes up. Feels like they were hoping I’d say I wasn’t home so they could just pop in when the place was empty. Seriously, how can folks like that sleep at night?7 yearsSo tired of these annoying cold calls. I just let it ring until it goes to voicemail, but nothing’s ever left!7 yearsThey didn’t even bother to leave a voicemail.7 yearsSome bloke with an Asian accent called me, said he was from a government agency. He wanted to come round to sort out some cheque for bank fees I supposedly overpaid. Then he asked for my passport, birth certificate, and driving licence to give it to me! Sounds well dodgy to me, be careful!7 yearsI've had this number ring me a bunch of times but whenever I pick up, they just drop the call. After seeing what others have said here, I decided to block it.7 yearsI keep getting loads of calls from all over & it’s pretty dodgy. I just look up the number here before even thinking about picking up. Best not to answer at all, honestly.7 yearsGot a call from an Asian bloke claiming to be from some government claims management office. When I asked where their office was, he said Petty France, Westminster. Then he started talking about me having a £3,000 refund. I told him straight up that it was a dodgy scam and to jog on.PettyFranceWestminster7 yearsGot a call with no one speaking on the other end, so irritating every time.7 yearsGot a call from a bloke with a thick accent claiming to be with the Financial Conduct Authority. He said the UK Government owed me £3,000 for bank fees charged before 2011 and that someone would ring me the next day to deliver a cheque and some forms. They wanted to check my photo ID. He asked if my address was still the same, which it was - so seems like they’d done their homework. I hesitated a bit, and then he muttered something about “just wait for the next call” before abruptly hanging up.Financial Conduct AuthorityUK7 yearsSo, get this - I was supposedly due a refund of £3000 from my bank. They said someone would come by with the cheque and I’d need to show my photo ID. I quickly caught on and told them it sounded like a scam, then they just ended the call.7 yearsMy bank promised me 3 grand and sent a bloke over with a cheque and some paperwork. You should really make sure your older family members aren’t being scammed like this. It’s awful and honestly needs to be put an end to.7 yearsI never picked up since the number wasn’t familiar. Usually I let it drop to voicemail, expecting a message if it was urgent. But surprise, surprise, no message at all - they just ended the call. This same number rang me four times yesterday and now it's blocked for good.7 yearsSo I got a call from someone, couldn’t really tell if it was a bloke or a lady by their voice. They started with "hello, is this Mr..." and then paused forever. I just jumped in and said "Bean?" and right after that, they just ended the call. Seems like they were trying to trick poor Mr. Bean or something. What has he done to attract that kind of nonsense?Bean.7 yearsGot a call from a woman telling me I’d been awarded £3000 from some PPI claim and congratulating me on it. I just told her to stuff it and ended the call quick. Definitely a scam, don’t fall for it!PPI7 yearsGot a call from a woman saying the government had approved me for a refund on bank fees. I was interested and asked her to explain further, but she just ended the call. Feels like a scam to me, maybe they were after my banking details, but I couldn’t say for certain.Submit Your Own Report (020 8156 9856)
