Had a call today showing as support through court . Declined call as have no court proceedings .Looked it up on a few threads with people stating it is a scam
I have got 20 scam calls before
Called at 12.45 on a Tuesday. Goes straight to a robotic voice saying my NI number is compromised and that “we” will take action but does not say who “we” are. It is a scam. If it was a real case a human would speak to you and ask to speak to you not go straight into the claim for confidentiality purposes.
scam!!!!
The call got connected to a officer, and he said that your National Insurance number is compromised and there are suspected illegal/criminal activities on the number. And to proceed with details they asked my full name and NI number. Got suspicious and disconnected the call.
They didnt leave a message and when trying to call back, I was presented with options for Manchest County Court. Tried to get through to the operator to ask what the call was about but was on hold for over 20 mins so hung up
Received the same call this morning and called the number back and chose option 6 for the operator, like you I ended the call after no response.
scamers are so stupid
