08703611417 Summary (Read all comments)
Phone number ☎️ 08703611417 👆 is reported as a contact number primarily linked to the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP), often regarding Universal Credit claims, with calls frequently made by their outsourced service provider, Serco. While many users confirm its legitimacy as part of official benefit communication to arrange interviews or appointments, there are recurring complaints about aggressive call patterns - calls ending abruptly before being answered or many calls within a short time - causing frustration. Some recipients erroneously associate it with the Child Support Agency (CSA) or experience confusion due to caller ID anomalies. Users are advised to exercise caution, avoid sharing personal or financial details by phone, and verify calls directly through official DWP channels if unsure. The number should not be assumed to be a scam but requires vigilance.
Reports on phone number 08703611417
9 yearsGot a call from someone claiming to be from the DWP. They wanted to verify they were sending me a letter and email about a Universal Credit interview. Sounded genuine enough, especially as I’ve already received the email. They gave their name and the department they worked for too.DWPUniversal Credit9 yearsI registered for universal credit yesterday and this number kept ringing me 4 times, but each call only lasted a couple of seconds before hanging up. It was pretty frustrating, so I figured it was some sort of prank and blocked the caller. Then not long after blocking it, I received an email from DWP Universal Credit about my upcoming interview. The email mentioned they tried to get in touch and also said they would never ask for personal details over email, plus all their messages are monitored, so it all looked genuine which was a bit odd.DWP9 yearsDept. of Work & Pensions?DWP9 yearsI've been getting loads of calls from this number on both my home phone and my cellphone.9 yearsSounds like it was someone from the benefits office about universal credit.9 yearsDWP / Universal Credit tried ringing me 4 times in a row but the phone didnt even get to ring once. Then got a text saying they’d call back within an hour, but its been well over an hour now and still nothing!9 yearsHad a call from DWP about my universal credit claim.DWPUniversal Credit9 yearsThis aint no harassing call, it’s from the DWP. I missed the call and then they sent me an email with an appointment date at the job centre about my Universal Credit claim. Totally genuine number.DWPUniversal Credit9 yearsThis number rang me up the other day, and it was a really nice chap from the work and pensions department. He was so kind, and when I mentioned I was battling a stomach bug, he promised to keep it short and sweet - and he actually did!Department of Work and Pensions9 yearsHappened the same with me like some others mentioned. They called me 5 times in under half a minute but each time it just stopped after barely ringing so I couldn't pick up. I know it's a legit number, got a text saying they attempted to get through but failed and would call again soon. Problem is if they let the phone ring properly I might actually answer it.9 yearsI get calls from the Department for Work & Pensions about universal credit. They've outsourced it to SERCO now, but it’s definitely a legit number.Department for Work and PensionsSERCO9 yearsDealing with Universal Credit stuff/benefits can be an absolute nightmare sometimes.9 yearsI keep getting calls from serco dwp service centre, they don’t actually ring properly, just do that silent call thing till you pick up. Really annoying when you’re not expecting it.Serco DWP9 yearsCan someone please tell me if this is legit or just a scam? Cheers!10 yearsIt’s from the DWP, so it’s a legit number. But if you’re using a Samsung, it shows as Airport, which threw me off and made me ignore it the first time.DWPSamsung10 yearsGot a call about some sort of claim, she wanted me to verify really private stuff and my bank details to ‘prove who I am’. I told her I had no clue who she was and I wasn’t sharing anything personal, and she started getting a bit annoyed. I’ve reported the whole thing to the DWP. No way I’m giving out bank info over the phone. If they can’t even properly identify me, they shouldn’t be calling!DWP10 yearsUniversal credit calls? Just dont answer if you’re not into it. Simple as that.10 yearsTotal scam calls!FRAUDULENT10 yearsThis number has rung me three times already, so I tried contacting Universal Credit and the DWP, but both were shut because of the bank holiday. Now I'm just hanging about, waiting for them to get back to me.Universal CreditDWP10 yearsCan someone tell me what’s going on here? I’m totally confused by all this.10 yearsBloody hell, I didn’t pick up but I just went ahead and signed up anyway.10 yearsIt’s just social, they only sent me a text.10 yearsThey called me a few times over two days, but every time I tried to pick up, they must’ve hung up too quick because I never got a chance to talk.10 yearsThis phone number rang me over 10 times in just a single day! Each time, the call pops up on my screen but ends just as I try to pick up. After that, they called a few more times, like 4 or so, before finally giving up. I’m not calling them back because I don’t wanna risk any charges. If this was really the DWP or Universal Credit, they’d let it ring long enough for me to get a chance to answer.10 yearsGot a call from this number about sorting out my universal credit claim, like setting up a time to go to my nearest job centre. My Galaxy S7 showed it as "airport" though? But I'm pretty sure it's from the DWP.Galaxy S7DWP10 yearsThe number belongs to SERCO SERVICE CENTRE. Serco does outsourced customer service jobs for the UK Government. For me, they were getting in touch regarding my Universal Credit claim, working for the DWP. When they couldn’t get hold of me by phone, they dropped me an email with the appointment info and mentioned they’d tried calling. Your call might not be about Universal Credit specifically (it could be pensions, CSA, or something else), but it’ll still be Serco working for the DWP.SERCO SERVICESercoUKDWPChild Support Agency10 yearsNormally I don’t answer calls from unknown numbers, but I couldn’t see properly without my glasses and ended up picking up. Some bloke asked for someone by name and I told him he could talk to her if she lived here!!! Then I just ended the call. Felt a bit dodgy, didn’t sound right at all. Best to stay clear!!!10 yearsThey called me 4 times in less than a minute but it didn’t even ring, just my phone flashing the call alert. If it’s CSA, why’s it also showing up as Universal Credit? They’re meant to be handled by different departments.Child Support AgencyUniversal Credit10 yearsThis number belongs to the DWP, check the response from 15/3/17.Department for Work and Pensions10 yearsthey just keep calling but i barely get a chance to pick up before it stops ringing.10 yearsThis number rang me up and luckily I’ve had a job with the DWP before so I was on alert straight away when the person said they were from the DWP. When the DWP gets in touch, they always say the full title 'Department for Work and Pensions', not just the abbreviation. Plus, the caller kicked off with "good morning Ian," which they never do until they’ve properly confirmed who they’re talking to. When I asked the caller to prove they were from the DWP, they got really annoyed. I ended the call there and rang the DWP myself. They told me they don’t use mobile numbers to contact people and that there was no reason for them to call because my Universal Credit is all okay. The DWP told me to report it to Action Fraud, who also recommended checking with Experian or another credit agency to lock my file with a password so no one can apply for credit without my say-so. Seriously, never share your info with these callers!Department of Work and PensionsDWPIanAction FraudExperian10 yearsBlimey, I received a total of nine calls from this number! But when I attempted to return the call, I was met with a message saying the number wasn't recognised. How baffling!10 yearsI've received a couple of calls from this number, but when I attempted to return the call, it just said that the number I dialled couldn’t be found. Quite baffling, really!10 yearsThey called about 11 times within 5 minutes, kept ringing then hanging up before I could even pick up. So annoying having my phone blow up like that so many times in such a short span. Does anyone have any idea who it might be?10 yearsThis number has rung me a couple of times, and I checked with CSA who told me they never call from an 0870 number.10 yearsshowed up as an airport number. looks like a fake one used by customer service agents.10 yearsI received a call from this number and initially brushed it off. However, after a quick search on this site, I decided to pick up when they rang back about an hour later. It turned out to be the DWP reaching out regarding my Universal Credit application, to set up an appointment at my nearest Jobcentre to wrap things up. Just wanted to share that info with everyone! :)DWPJobcentre10 yearsthis number is real, i didn’t pick up the first time it rang but looked it up on here later. got a call back about an hour after and answered it. turned out to be the dwp regarding my universal credit claim, they wanted to set a date for me to come to the jobcentre to sort everything out. just wanted to share that with everyone :)DWP10 yearsAt first I missed the call from this number but got curious so I looked it up here. About an hour later, they rang again and I picked up - turned out it was the DWP about my Universal Credit claim. They wanted to set up a time for me to go down to the local Jobcentre and sort everything out. Just wanted to share that in case anyone else is wondering! :)DWPJobcentre10 yearsGot a call on my house phone but no voicemail left, then the same number tried on my mobile. When I rang it back, it said it wasn't a valid number. Decided to block it straight away.10 yearsGot a call earlier today but didnt pick up, so I tried ringing back only to find out it wasnt the right number!10 yearsI tried calling back to find out who it was since they hung up as soon as I picked up (happened 4 times). But then I just got a ‘number not recognised’ message.10 yearsthis number belongs to the csa - so irritatingCSA10 yearsIt was the CSA ringing me, so I called them back. I’m not keen on picking up calls from unknown numbers, thats why I looked it up here first before getting back to them.CSA10 yearswatch out for the people saying stuff like "real dwp/csa call, the woman on the phone was so nice" or anything like that. if they really knew who was calling, why are they even on this site trying to find out the number? seems fishy to me.DWPCSA10 yearsWatch out for those comments claiming it's a "legit DWP or CSA caller, the woman on the line was really nice." If they actually knew the caller, why on earth would they be searching the number on a reverse phone lookup site? It just doesn’t add up.DWPCSA10 yearsCalled me a couple of times but when I picked up there was nothing but silence. Not gonna ring back since it costs 45p a min!10 yearsI keep getting calls from the DWP finance lot but I thought this was supposed to be about the CSA? Quite confusing really.DWPChild Support Agency10 yearsThis number rang like 5 times one after the other but my phone never actually made a noise! Just showed as 5 missed calls. If it was really important they would of left a voicemail or something. After seeing how much it would cost to call back, it all felt kinda dodgy, so I just ignored it.10 yearsGot a call from this number. A lady picked up and asked for the wife. Told her she wasn’t in and she said she’d ring back. When I asked what company she was calling from, she refused to say anything except it was for my wife. When I tried to call back, the number showed up as unknown. 0870361141710 yearsI told them it was the wrong data protection info, yet they carried on asking about my personal details anyway!!!Csa10 yearsI got a call claiming to be from the DWP but they wouldn’t say what it was about unless I verified my identity. Since I’d seen some missed calls and looked into it, I figured I had no reason to be dealing with the DWP or CSA, so I refused to confirm who I was. They ended the call after that.DWPCSA10 yearsToday I got a few calls from this number, but when I asked who they were, they refused to say. They kept insisting it was something about Data Protection. Quite annoying.Data Protection10 yearsI received a phone call claiming to be from the CSA. Since my kids are all grown up, if they wish to contact me, I’d rather they put it in writing. I have a sneaking suspicion that this isn't genuinely from the CSA, as they typically send a letter before picking up the phone!CSA10 yearsThis number was linked to the CSA.CSA11 yearsAha, so that's who it belongs to! Much appreciated for clearing that up!11 yearsAnyone know who dialled 7 just now?11 yearsI tried calling the number back but it wouldn’t connect, just gave me a message saying the number isn’t valid or something like that.11 yearsGot a call on my phone from a number saying they were from the DWP. They claimed I'd been paid too much by the CSA and that they were going to take back the money by holding onto my next couple of payments. After looking into it, neither the DWP nor the CSA use 0870 numbers, so I'm not sure if it was legit or just some scam. No clue who was really on the other end.Department for Work and PensionsChild Support AgencyDWPCSA11 yearsI received a call from this number, but when I attempted to return the call, I was met with a message stating that the number was unrecognised. Quite puzzling, isn't it?11 yearsthey called saying they were from the department of work and pensions, asking for a reference on someone who works there! tried ringin them back but my phone doesnt pick up incoming calls.Department of Work and Pensions11 yearsI tried calling them back but couldn’t get through, so honestly, just leave me alone.11 yearsI keep gettin calls from this number, but every time I try to call back, theres no one to talk to. They just ring and then go silent. Really gets on my nerves!11 yearsThey start off saying they’re from the DWP, but only until they figure out they’re speaking to the right person - it’s actually the CSA calling.CSADWP13 yearsGot a call from the child support people asking if I’d sorted the payments yet. Quite unexpected and a bit nerve-wracking to be honest. Didn’t expect them to ring out of the blue like that.Child Support Agency13 yearsCan anyone tell me who this number belongs to? It keeps ringing my phone but I’m unable to ring back.Submit Your Own Report (0870 361 1417)
