I have just had a call from an Indian  sounding like guy who somehow new my address and wanted to know my bank detailsmand Somehow he new the first four digits.  When I asked him to give me the company number, he kept asking me to give him my card number. What a joke.  I just feel stupid for giving my DOB.

Call from a '' Eastbourne company " wanting my bank details to get my charges refunded. An obvious scam I suggest if you get a call try and keep them on the phone for as long as possible as this tends to piss them off. I have managed to keep them on for 52 mins so far.

I received a call from UK Financial Department stating that they had bank charges to return to me from my Bank that they named. They had the long card number but wanted more information that I refused to give them. Strong foreign accent with a lot of background chatter like a call centre. They said that they had £3000 to return to me. After circa 15mins they gave up after I told them that I would contact my bank to confirm.

they are scammers who will try to get your bank details

persistant little buggers -- gave them false numbers and the cheeky dogs called me back ;saying my  ""verifcation"" did not work --- played it dumb as possible for as long poss--- and you will never believe it---the line went dead--- they called 4 more times after that to which i told them i had all my bank details ready for them---- and yes--- every time i tried to give the details-----i accidently "lost" the line

I got the exact same phone call today. I live in London. I was very concerned as they had all my information DOB, card number on their systems. They asked for my 3 digit number at the back of the card. While they were taking my information I went on line and checked the Dep of Finance from where they said they were calling and I saw these posts. Very worried right now. Dont know if I need to report this?

Two three calls from 01924215367
Same script as above..Indian accent, UK Finance Dept., refund of bank charges, cheque ready to send out ? Confirmation of details
Asked for date of birth..refused.  Said to him you have enough info to send me letter/ cheque.

Asked me " don't you want this money ?"  I said "no". He terminated the call.

This is worrying...how much info does he have?

Really cheeky aren't they?

I too had a call from a freak of a person from UK Dept of Finance who went by the name of Ricky, He was Indian as i told him to get lost in no uncertain terms, He was extremley rude and the language was colourful to say the least, He was Swearing at me in Punjabi, I did ask where hes from and he continued  "WE ARE WORKING UNDER THE GUIDELINES OF THE UK GOVERMENT" and "WE ARE BASED IN LAZERLEY STREET, EASTBOURNE, EAST SUSSEX".

The number that came up on my phone initially was  00501 and i received a follow up call shortly after from same person swearing at me and the number was 001441924215367.  

Dog ends of society that the Govt here needs to act against these Foreign Scammers.

I just contacted this company: I asked the person i spoke to that i was phone abusively twice yesterday and the contact address i was given was yours, I said i was on my way there to sort out the Offensive staff member(s).The guy was a bit taken back and tried to refute what had happened to me then said we have call centres around the world and if someone did say something then they are not doing their job properly, This person said his boss Steve would be back shortly and to speak to him.  I have no intention as yet to contact them again, But thought i would share with you all

Received a call from this number three times today, and three times the person making the call hung up after I answered the phone.

I had a call this morning from the same 'company'.  The caller (Francis Cameron?) wouldn't give me his phone number but gave the same address.  He also had my card number and asked me to verify the first 4 digits which he quoted to me.  I refused to give him any verification.  Told him to write to me.  I put the phone down on him and he called me back and gave me the first 2 digits of the second tranch of numbers as well.  He continued to try to convince me he just needed verification so that they could ensure sending the 'cheque' to the right person.  I refused - he ended the call.

He had said he was from UK Finance or Financial, not too sure, he had a strong Indian accept.  He also said that they had been given a list by the High Court of people owed money and I was on that list.  Quoting the High Court makes them sound very plausible.  However, I know the banks don't divulge personal information to third parties.  I reported the incident to my bank's Fraud Dept and they have cancelled my card and are issuing a new one.  Very inconvenient just before Christmas.  Have also reported the matter to the police who asked me to contact Action Fraud.  Have done this and they are taking a statement from me.

Call from lady with Aisian accent saying she was from UK Finance and that I was owed money re. illegal bank charges and needed verification of debit card details to issue cheque. Tried to convince me that she was genuine by giving me the first four numbers of my debit card. When I questioned her about who UK Finance were she stumbled and a male Aisian voice took over and tried to convince me he was not a scammer. I told him that I did not give info over the phone but I would check with my bank and he should ring me back later. He persisted but I continued to refuse and he hung up. My bank informs me that all business account debit cards start with the same four digits .......so do not be fooled by this!

The caller's number was withheld.

Just had a similar call, but number was withheld.  Strongly-accented male calling himself 'William' said I had paid bank charges which they would refund.  After checking name, address and tel.no, asked for my date-of-birth, saying "after you confirm your date of birth we will tell you how much we will send you"; I hesitate to give my d-o-b, and asked him to tell my what date they had and I would confirm whether their record was correct. (I decided not to go into an explanation of the meaning of "confirm", and that they were not asking me to confirm my d-o-b, but to tell them - I didn't think he would understand!)
After a while I gave in and gave my (correct) d-o-b; when he read it back to me (saying "that's right") it sounded as if 2 of the 3 elements were slightly wrong.
He then asked which bank I would like payment to be paid in to.  Sensing that the next question might be for my account number, I decided to turn the tables and asked for their company name and address.  He tried, but I had to keep asking him to repeat. At this point another voice came on the line, also accented though not quite as strongly.  The info given was: UK Financial Services, 2840 Leslie Street, Eastbourne, East Sussex, BN22 8JB   (At least,it sounded like 2840; from other posts I now realise it was actually 38-40).  When I asked for their phone no, the call was ended.

If I receive another call from them (or any one similar) I will give deliberately false information (for date-of-birth etc).  They are either trying to collect data to mis-use, or they have managed to obtain my data from some other source, almost certainly illegally.

Received a call from an Indian accented man wanting my bank details so he could send a cheque for refund of bank payments.After a long argument about him wanting my account details and which bank I used, he said he worked for U.K Finance Department in Eastbourne. I hung up but he rang back with the same questions but he did not get any further information. I reported this to my bank and citizens advice bureau who will pass information to all concerned. Do not get caught out as he is very persistent.

Gets a call "again" askin fir a mr fox. Said he was from uk finance co. Adamament that i am this fox giving me a postcode etc. Told him to pi%& off i am not person an he finally hung up

Tel no 01269849892 is the no my wife received a call from & gave details of card to. £99.99 has been claimed from our ac payable to:

I answered call from these people who said they had been working with my bank re ppi. I was stupid enough to give them my bank details. As soon as the phone was down contacted my bank & closed my account. They still managed to get £ 99.99. 3 days later I received an envelope with a couple of leaflets & 5 proformo letters for me to fill in & send to my bank. It states I have 14days to return the letters ^ ask for a refund.  I wont hold my breath
