Is this a scam?
 

So I got an automated phone call this afternoon saying that my National Insurance number has been suspended and to return the call to discuss it by pressing 1. I hung up and when I tried the actual number it said invalid number.

Anyone experienced anything like this?

it is a SCAM

They said they were the Department for work and pensions?

Well yeah that’s how they get you

You can’t suspend a national insurance number, it’s not a bank account

Ok thanks LT and Smithy.

DWP would never ring you with something like that Kate and they certainly wouldn't use an automated service

I had one the other week saying it was an arrest warrant for tax invasion like bitch they would come to my door not send an automated message

Sounds very scammy, never trust things like that Kate.

There's so many scams and more so now in lockdown . There's people pretending to be Amazon, internet providers, your local bank you name it :bored:.

Scam.

I thought that afterwards Annie. They'd send a letter if there was an issue.

I had one the other week

woman calls up claiming she was The TL and when was i going to pay her back the 10K i borrowed from the safe under her bed the day before we split up. tbf she did sound like the TL and as it goes I did rob 10K from a safe under her bed but I just hung up and blocked the number.


They wont get old LT like that, I wasnt born yesterday

:nono:

Scam

they nearly got my elderly aunt with the Amazon account compromised one

Luckily she stopped just in time

:skull:

They are swines aren't they? I worry my dad will be caught out one day but he tends to check with me before he does anything now.

:laugh:

It was very convincing. I was quite worried. They said hello the is the Department for Work and Pensions. Your National Insurance number has been suspended due to suspected fraud. Please press one to discuss your case with our team.

I wouldn’t mind but she knew about the scam before the call just shows how convincing they are

:laugh:

Kate
Post a thread everytime

These Criminals have your Landline number
they will keep trying to TRICK you.

Lol i had one of those saying there was an arrest warrrant for unpaid taxes in USA :laugh:

They rang me on my mobile Arista. We don't have a landline. Xx

We've been getting loads of those type calls at work from "amazon "

Same Problem
they have your number

Yeah your national insurance number would NOT be suspended and you wouldn't be told like that , they're such lying idiots:joker: :bored: .

There's some terrible email scammers aswell, I always delete and I always hang up on the phone ones.

And can call you outside now as well.

Lots of scams going on....I trust no one.
