A surge of reports flags this number as a persistent nuisance, often posing as a DWP survey. Callers repeatedly ring, hang up before you answer, or claim to have your name and that of a family member, creating a sense of urgency. The pattern suggests a scam rather than a legitimate government enquiry. To stay safe, block the number on your handset, avoid sharing any personal data, and verify any DWP contact directly through the official website or by phone. Report suspicious calls to Action Fraud and consider registering with the Telephone Preference Service. Staying sceptical and protecting your details is the best defence.
Despite two attempts, the caller hung up before I could respond. Given the suspicious nature of these calls, I've blocked the number to avoid potential harm.
The caller introduced himself as working with universal credit, asking questions about their services and potential improvements.
Kept getting calls repeatedly. I’ve now blocked the number.
Repeated calls are made to my number, only to be disconnected before I can respond.
For several evenings, I've been receiving brief calls from this number, with each call lasting no more than a few rings before being terminated.
Three calls have been received in just one week. They claimed to be conducting a DWP survey and had both my name and my son's, who lives with me. It was quite challenging to decline, as they were very persistent and convincing, but I find it highly suspicious. I won't be answering if they call again. There was a noticeable pause before anyone spoke...connecting from a distant location?
I mistakenly picked up. The caller mentioned they were conducting a survey for DWP. I answered some questions, only providing my email. Since it’s the weekend, I can’t reach DWP until Monday.
Rang three times in a week. Answered once, but there was only static noise before they hung up.
The caller addressed me by name before abruptly hanging up.
