See who's calling

A letter was sent to my address in connection with this call, I have since phoned the dwp, they say that they know nothing of this, this number is used for scamming, not always, but on this occasion it was.

Pretty sure this is a scam, saying indeed it is a dwp call is misleading as the only way for the scam to work is if it appears to be a genuine call, the number will occasionally spoofed

Just Universl Credit, Not a Scam

Universal Credit helpline / Job Centre used this line to call me.

Had this number telephone me at around 9. 30 this morning didn't get to phone on time they left no message.I did not recognise the number. Not sure if a scam I do not answer to numbers I don't know.

Deffo DWP, they called me with name n branch, so safe number 👍👍

Definitely not a scam DWP JOB CENTRE

Completely safe it's the DWP or universal credit

I was told to expect this call and the name of the caller

Scam claims to be dwp but after I found the call suspicious because the gave me my details which they are meant to ask me to provide call dwp who said it’s not them and to block number

08006404999 Kick-Start Scheme using the DWP number - GENUINE!

I've been called by this number twice when it was scheduled, and one unexpected call today. I didn't answer it today as nothing had been arranged, but the previous occasions were 100% genuine. The negative ratings are due to the unexpected calls I assume, it's unusual behavior from them, as they always text first and leave a note in my journal, but today they did neither.

This is a genuine phone number not a scam.

Claimed to be from Universal Credit but no journal message, email or advance warning. Stated the last 3 letters of my account name and post code to confirm it was them and get me to continue with giving them my passwords/security answers, which also seemed odd and raised some alarm bell, as this doesn’t normally happen.

No scam, checkup appointment to see how you are doing with job searching and anything else they might be able to offer.

It is DWP indeed, it’s not a scam. If you got this call, it’s about a referral to other services (i.e. Training for job applications, Kickstart scheme) that are collaborating with the job centre. That’s why they don’t appear in your journal.

100% not a scam. Legit number from DWP. Called universal credit up and they confirmed this.

It definitely is a DWP number. Maybe someone called from a similar-looking number to try a scam?

Rang dwp to check they confirmed they have not contacted me it’s not one of their numbers it’s a scam

I was called by this number today but didn't get to the phone quick enough to answer. When I called the number back an automated voiced claimed the number was DWP. I called universal credit and they had o information of a call having been made to me. IT'S NOT REAL.

This is universal credit, they ring every 2 weeks, not a scam

This is not Scam. This is Universal Credit This is good 👍

Genuine, confirmed via their website prior to the call.

Has to be a scam I didn’t answer the phone but normal Universal Credit calls are listed in a Journal so they if it’s not listed and you got no text message reminder about when they call you then it has to be a fake call.

Claiming to be for PIP, and they left a message saying they will call back

Universal Credit - not a scam

Genuine number, you are told by universal credit you will get a call and it will either come up as a 0800, withheld or private number and not to ignore it. You are usually given pre warning they are going to call though.

Wasn't a scam after all. But the number has been cloned and scammers are using it, So be careful

And in case anyones interested I got two scam messages from DWP under they're real number and now they are supposedly trying to phone me on my mobile when they know I'm completely deaf. Got to be a scam

Called in regards of an appointment, Genuine number as checked by calling the Jobcentre directly, Not spam at all.

This was a call from DWP so an important call. This is NOT spam

Rang at 08. 59 an 11. 51 on a Saturday claiming to be DWP. I'm waiting for them to contact me about something but I think this call is just coincidence. I ignore both calls, Checked on here and rang it back. Automated response. Don't think this can be genuine, On a Saturday

This is the Job centre. NOT a harassing call at all. It is a GENUINE call.

I was called today and spoke about my PIP it is genuine they told me info on my details and no one else would know that

Was a call about my Universal Credit claim

Oops! Missed my Universal credit arranged appointment. :( Interesting other comments genuine number so maybe call ID was spoofed for others.

This isn't a DWP NUMBER. IT'S SOMEWHERE IN THE EAST OF ENGLAND. And they wouldn't phone me at 10 pm at night fact. Sour blocked the no. SIMPLE.

For all the people on here saying this is a genuine number for DWP no one is desputing that, But this number called my phone at 12:05am? I was about to answer and give them my frank opinion on which XXXXX thought it a good idea to phone anyone at that time, But the call stopped ringing after just 2 rings? I’m betting this is a scammed number made to look and sound genuine, It’s easily done. I’d be very careful I have a friend who recently was made redundant he’s said if they wanted to call you t

Call me like 3 times to day I did not Answer

Claim to be DWP. Even wanted me to pull up from driving so they can interview me. Used my place of work (easy to find) to pressure me into 'interview'. Just Put the phone down

From the Job Centre, Very pleasant. Confirmed by e-mail.
