02256800256

Got a call from tel no:02256800256  'John' who claims to work on behalf of UK FINANCE DEPT on behalf of the British High Court no less!

Hes based in Eastbourne apparently but living in a room in London.

Here goes.... He had my name postcode, a bit shocking. He offered to pay refund of bank over charges of undisclosed amount by cheque or through bank account then asked 'which would I prefer?' This person had a thick indian accent im not racist but persons like this aid bringing about negative stereotypes because of their obvious fraudulent intent. Anyway having a bit of time on my hands I decided to plug him for info to pass on.  His office is in Eastbourne as mentioned to which I offered to go & personally pick up payment.  He then supplied Postcode BN22 6AZ, and a number 01270772857 which is a dead line!   He would not give any further address details claiming the senior manager would provide them.  Its a real intrusion these calls im looking to get TPPS to help block these dodgy dealers.

Received a call today, this is the most obvious blatant scam ever. It just just shows how desperate people are getting. Funny thing is no one has ever walked to me in the street saying you are owed money and I have got the cheque for you and done all the hard work for you out of goodwill. So why would they do so over the phone because its a scam and you will never find them or know what they look like.

had a phone call just now saying i'd paid extra bank charges etc.  Couldn't understand him really cos of strong accent.  When I said r u asking if I have PPI he went MENTAL. Called me a Mother F****ing English Mother F***er and told me my face looks like his d**k.  He got the same back I'm affraid.  He had no names for us tho so that put me on the look out straight away.

NEVER EVER GIVE OUT ANY BANK DETAILS unless you are totally sure.
If by previous message these tend to be Indian then never do so - these are phishing for details and you find funds drained from your account until it is too late.

Anyway they did not leave a message due to TRUE CALL machine as it cuts these utter pig loving [***] dead in their tracks, see web site for info or utube for demo. I have total control on all incoming calls with this machine.

It mainly all started when moving from talktalk as their Internet operations are based in either Malaysia, South Africa or India. They always blame the customer not their equipment or service. It must be them that have sold my number on - waste of time due to true call. As these pig loving lot are based outside the UK or EU they do not follow data protection laws as set here.


They morons can carry on but will never get to leave a message

Basically these pillocks want your bank number to get access to you money! Do notallow them!

I have just received this call from a bank offering to pay me back some bank charges via a cheque.He asked for me details,address etc and then proceeded to request the name of my bank.I informed him that I do not give these details out over the phone but would accept the cheque from him and would bank it myself.I said this was the best way forward and promptly hung up Incidentally this call was from an Indian sounding gentleman called.........................yes you guessed it, kevin

every frickin day at 2pm they ring, i answer and they put it down. wish they would PIXX OFF

I got this number 0225 6800 256 and they hung up before I had a chance to enquire whose calling!  I redialled the number and put the prefix 141 and an operators voice said "the number you have dialled has not been recognised".  Enough said - when is this nuisance calling going to stop?

I heard my phone ringing but didn't answer it in time. A 1471 gave the curious 02256 800256. Attempts to return the call failed after dialling just 022.

i recieved a phone call from this number today and asking for mrs young but im not mrs young im miss bowden then the guy asked for mr young saying his from natwest and that mr young had paid tomuch money in his account and that he has a cheque waiting for him. when i said mr young dont live at my address he then started asking me mrs young but me and mr young dont have natwest bank and when i said that he put the phone down.

a man from this number rang my mother but would not talk to me.  He just put the phone down.  I am concerned as my mother has Alzheimers and might not be able to deal with any fraud issues.

I jst answered to this call and the man said can i speak to homeowner i then replied with can i ask what it is regarding he said yes but put the homeowner on the phone which i said ok but can i ask why your calling he then said [***] off and hung up this is disgusting i want to know the company immediately!!!

Have been registered with TPS for years but still get regular calls from crooks like the one I got from 02256800256 just now!

TPS? Just load of bollocks!

Took a call from this number today he then started to rtell me how he was going to come over and have sex with my wife while i watched. Guess he did not like me telling him to clear my number obvious muppet hope to meet one day then you can see just how far you phone really can go up you [***].

Got them call me today ...he could not pronounce my name then stuttered over his own ...I think it was RAM-JAM , not his English name he tried to pronounce ..lol....needless to say he said i had been charged bank charges and asked if i wanted them paid by cheque or into my account ...after that he didn't say no more  cos i told him he was a  bleep scammer I wasn't owed any bank charges  and told him to call me back when he could speak English and pronounce my name properly...after that i could her him talking as i put the phone down .....PS If you try to phone the number it comes as not recognised

Just had a phone call from this number a man with an Indian accent knew my name address etc saying I was going to get refunded back charges even knew the first 4 digits of my debit card when I refused to give them the rest of the digits he told me to stick the card up my a** and p**sy so I told him he was f***in p***k I rang the number back but it says it dosnt exest BEWARE hang up straight away

Indian sounding man with suspiciously English name rang me from this number, I challenged how he knew I was owed bank charges and he went on about the high court.

Very rude when challenged, told me to shut up over the phone! Even after I hung up on him he rang me back

got a call from this number saying they wanted to send me a cheque for charges to by bank account.

when i reffused to give my card number to him he told me to go to hell.

Keep getting calls from this number but no one picks up, shame as I have a whistle to blow when they do

I have been ex-directory for more than 10 years, but received similar call and the caller knew my name and address.

Called himself Jack Pietersen, from so-called UK Claims and Finance Department, which he said is a government department working to guidelines from High Court.

His pitch took similar line to those reported from others on this forum, ie: you qualify for claims xyz,  would you want to be paid by cheque or directly into bank account. When challenged on how he might know I was owed anything, and if so how much, he said such details could be discussed later.

I ended the conversation once he read out my address. Seems like someone somewhere is buying/selling confidential information.
