A woman with an African‑accent called, claiming to verify my details for the MYCLAIM group. After providing some information, she asked me to upload my passport or driver’s licence via a link, which I declined politely.
Personal Data Trap from Call Centre
Summary — +441617682652
Expert Opinion
Reports consistently describe unsolicited calls from a number posing as representatives of 'MyClaim group' or 'Phasing claim group', requesting personal details like address, date of birth, and ID uploads for supposed motor finance claims. Accents suggest foreign call centres, with background noise indicating scripted operations. Such tactics align with scam patterns, where fraudsters exploit claim opportunities to harvest data for identity theft. One instance involved a hesitant victim declining further engagement. Practical advice: Never share sensitive info over unsolicited calls; verify claims directly via official channels. Block the number and report to Action Fraud if pressured. Hang up immediately on verification demands—genuine firms don't cold-call for passports.
