2 yearsI reckon 0800072161 isn’t legit. I got a proper call from the DWP about PIP, and the genuine number they used was 08000720161. Seems like this one’s just a knockoff.DWP2 yearsHeads up, I got a call from this number claiming to be the 'DWP', but it turned out to be a total scam. Don’t bother answering or calling back. If your claim is genuine, they’ll contact you by letter or email, not over the phone.DWP2 yearsThis was definitely a scam, total fraud.2 yearsMy daughter got a call from someone saying they were from the DWP, asking loads of personal questions. The person had a really strong foreign accent which made it sound dodgy. He said he’d call back later. It seemed risky when he asked for her National Insurance number and bank info, so she didn’t give anything else. He did know her name though. Does the DWP usually give just half an hour’s warning before a phone appointment? I’m planning to forward the email to Gov.UK to check if it’s legit.DWPNational InsuranceUK2 yearsGot a call from this number claiming to be the DWP, saying they’ve been trying to reach me. Don’t call back straight away - just look up the DWP number online and ring them from there. I called the actual DWP and they said no one’s been in touch with me at all. Feels like this might be some dodgy scam.DWPGoogleSubmit Your Own Report (0800 072161)
