Expert Opinion
Approach with caution: this call from a number purporting to be UK-based carries serious red flags of impersonation. Reports indicate it's a scam where callers from abroad, likely the Philippines, pose as officials from the Department for Work and Pensions to extract personal details or payments. Never share sensitive information over unsolicited calls, even if they sound authoritative. Hang up immediately and verify any claims directly through official channels, like the genuine gov.uk website or by dialling known numbers. If pressured, report to Action Fraud to help curb these deceptive tactics. Staying vigilant protects against identity theft and financial loss.
