They rang up asking for two different people just by first names, but we've got a couple of staff with those names. When I asked who exactly they meant, they just dropped the call!

SCAM ALERT! Got a call from 02381-681371, didn’t answer and decided to look it up here. Turns out, it’s an Indian scammer from some call centre pretending to be a “Funding Expert.” Haha, what a joke. Definitely blocking this number!

Got a call from some bloke with a thick accent claiming to be a Funding Specialist. He wanted to speak to the company's directors, asking for them by name. When I said they weren’t around, he said he’d just drop an email instead. Definitely felt a bit dodgy, so I’ve just blocked the number.

Got a call from a man with a heavy accent asking for some director by name. He said they could help us get government grants. I told him we weren't interested, but he kept pushing. Ended up blocking the number.

They were talking about giving me some sort of funding, but honestly, it felt pretty dodgy to me.

I couldn't really catch most of what the guy was mumbling, but I reckon it was someone about funding or something like that. I told him we weren’t interested, but he kept on going. In the end, I just cut the call and blocked the number.

This woman said she was from Funding Expert and when I asked for her contact number, she gave me 02033711212 - which is actually Funding Expert’s line in Hampshire. But she was calling from 02381681371, not her real number, and there was loads of call centre chatter in the background. I told her straight up she was dodgy, but she just ignored me and kept asking about the company director like she hadn’t heard a word. We’re on the TPS, so not impressed at all. Definitely felt like a scam call.

Got another call from this same number today. An Indian guy claimed he was from some government funding agency. He wanted to chat with our Finance Director and even insisted on calling her by her first name. After that, he asked who I was, but I told him flat out we don’t deal with cold calls and refused to share any info about our company. Weird because I thought I’d already blocked this number before... not sure how it got through again.

Someone called asking for Matthew but no one named Matthew works here. They wanted to talk about 'business finance' and asked to speak with someone in charge. I just ended the call.

Got a call from someone saying they were with Funding Expert... sounded a bit dodgy to me. They kept pushing about some loan offer and wanted my details, but I wasn’t having it. Seemed like one of those scammy calls to catch you out. Definitely wouldn’t trust them!
