Reports on phone number 08007310297
4 monthsCalled just the one time and then vanished, didn't even wait for me to pick up.5 monthsI got a call from this number but there was total silence, no one spoke at all. Just a silent call, really odd.7 monthsGot a message saying they’d ring me later about my carers allowance claim. They did call later on, but since I’ve never actually applied for carers allowance, I was really dodgy about it and just didn’t pick up. They didn’t even leave a voicemail or anything.8 monthsFor the past two weeks, this number keeps ringing me on every weekday. Whenever I pick up, all I hear is my own voice echoed back, with some TV sounds in the background - definitely not a busy call centre. The voicemails left are quite confusing and include just bits of a phone number to get back. Even though I do receive carers allowance, they’ve never actually called me before, all communication has been through letters in the post.11 monthsGot a call from someone about the DWP carers allowance, they asked if I needed help filling out a form that’s supposed to be sent back really quickly.DWP1 yearIt was the DWP calling, looked proper legit.DWP1 yearI got two calls from this number. The first time, it only rang twice before they hung up. Then, about three minutes later, they called back and this time the phone rang maybe three or four times and then they disconnected again. I figured out it’s from the DWP, but I’m not claiming carer’s allowance or anything like that. I tried ringing them back but all I got was a message saying the line’s closed. They didn’t leave me any message or anything.DWP2 yearsThis seems off to me - I’ve never had anyone from carers allowance ring me up before, I always thought they’d send a letter through the post. When I missed the call, they left a message that was really badly written, like a text voicemail or something, not the usual proper voicemail I’d expect. Honestly, I can’t see this being a genuine call from the DWP. If it really was them, they’d just send me something in the post anyway.CarerAllowanceDWP2 yearsI've gotten calls from this number before and it was definitely from the DWP about Carer Allowance. Recognised it straight away.DWPCarer Allowance2 yearsIt was a call from the DWP about my carers allowance.Department for Work and Pensions CarersAllowance3 yearsI’m sure it’s the DWP. I recently changed my phone number after applying, and since then haven’t had any dodgy calls. I was actually waiting for a call because they left a voicemail yesterday saying they’d ring me or that I should give them a call back.DWP3 yearsI'm a carer myself and I’ve definitely called this number before trying to get in touch about carers allowance.3 yearsSomeone called saying they were from the DWP, asked for my birthday and mentioned I had to answer some security questions. I told them I wasn’t sure why they were contacting me and asked if they could send a letter instead. Feels dodgy, I don’t think it was the real DWP.DWP3 yearsBeware, this is a total scam where they say they're from DWP career allowance, but DWP would never ring you up like that. Stay vigilant!DWP3 yearsI didn't pick up but replied with a message saying it was about DWP Carers Allowance. Since I am a carer, it seemed legit to me.DWPCarers Allowance4 yearsGot a missed call earlier and when I rang back, it was some careers allowance place. They told me their office is shut until Monday coz of the bank holiday. So who exactly tried calling me?5 yearsAt first, I wasn’t convinced, but she claimed to be from the DWP carers allowance team, which I’m actually expecting a call from. I decided to question her, and she gave me my NI number, the date I submitted the claim, and the documents I sent over. That’s when I felt okay to continue and answer her about the type of care I give, to whom, and the bank account for payment. It's always a good idea to test them out - genuine reps have the info to back themselves up and know how to handle such checks.DWP5 yearsSounds like it was totally the DWP ringing about my claim for carers allowance.DWPCarerAllowance6 yearsJust an FYI, it's fine to pick up the phone, it's from DWP about carer's allowance!Department for Work and Pensions6 yearsI got a call from the DWP Carers Allowance Unit based in Wolverhampton.WolverhamptonDWPCarerAllowance6 yearsGot a call out the blue about carers allowance, never asked for anything like that before. Really caught me off guard.6 yearsI got a call from some carers allowance office, they said they were based in Preston. Quite unsure if it’s legit or not.Preston6 yearsI got a call from someone saying they were NHS and then told me to press 2 to wait. It felt a bit sketchy, not sure what it was about.NHS6 yearsI've been getting calls from this number saying they're with the DWP. Anyone know if it's legit or just a scam?DWP6 yearsGot a call claiming to be from DWP, but when I rang back there was just silence.
