Keeps calling. When called back message says DWP. Called DWP, nobody called.
have just had a call from a DWP that I wasn't aware of. 08000232635 and I was shocked, at how they called me on a Saturday at 9:45 am, please can anyone tell me if it's a scam? I tried calling it back several times no answer. They was a woman's voice saying "Call back in the future".
I called dwp up and they said everything looks good there's no calls or messages or why anyone should call me. No letters have been received in the post stating I'd receive a call! I had two missed calls straight after eachother with only two rings before they hung up - when I called back it said we will contact you again in the future!
i had a phone call from dwp and then i phoned back i was told it was m and g such ascam
People On ESA Are Now Meant To Have Mandatory Back To Work Interview Every 3 Months... But If You Have A Good Worker Like Mine (Blackburn) She Does Face To Face Interview Then Next One Over The Phone Even As Late As 7.28pm Hope This Helps

It's one of the numerous numbers that the DWP will call you on before making a decision about your claim for any benefit. They say it's a "courtesy call" but it's actually to try and catch you out and disqualify your claim. Eg: You say you live alone but they hear you speaking to your partner. Or you say you don't have a pet but they hear your dog barking.Or your working, partying etc and they hope to catch you out. Perfectly safe to answer if you have nothing to hide, but, no need to answer because it's just a "courtesy call".
Job centre call
DWP number this is a legitimate number
Scumbag DWP, probably wanting money off you. Shower of robbing gits.
DWP, mine was about universal credits / sickness..
After ring up today and filling qustion on phone they just want to see if im intileted to severe disability grant seem legit as i rang official number on letter and they did it on phone
Why would they ring on a Saturday when not open rang Friday nothing on flies seems very odd and upsetting
Why would u get a call on a Saturday when not open seems very odd will be ringing you 8am Monday question it
Why would the dwp call on a sat when not open ill be calling Monday to check this out sims very fishy
After ringing DWP 20min call it confirmed that this number is 100% scamer noting on record and no one from them had call defno scam be very careful
After a 20mins call to Dwp it was confirmed nothing on record she said scam defno

Was call on this number its a scam as i rang DWP number on letter no letter to say calling and there was nothing on record Seems fishy defno scam left voicemail but never rang back
Local Jobcentre telling me JSA/UC interviews will start over the phone again from now on. And told me when my first will be.
It's perfectly safe and it is DWP/UC. If you're receiving Universal Credit, the call is a work search interview.
Answered the call no one on the other end call ended
I have received a call from 0800 023 2635 , I ama sexworker and I have received a call from a man using this number .When I have asked him which number he is calling me from, he said it was his number. I do not know how he owns a number starting 0800 . This should be investigated why a person calls sex workers froma 0800 number.
DWP - now BLOCKED WE ARE IN COVID-19 PANDEMIC PHONING TO HARASS & DISTRESS US! LIFT THE LOCKDOWN & TIER 1,2,3,4 etc Or pay us without HOUNDING all of us... NAZIS
Hi everyone I had this call this morning twice, in a row ( could be genuine) but never answered as not in my contacts if it is DWP I normally get a letter for my appointments I am waiting for a voicemail to see what it says if in doubt, I will ring DWP from one of my old letters apps and not number left on my mobile as very dubious my phone is a old classic Nokia 108 and voice mails take about 20 minutes or 3 days these days to get to me so I am going to ring dwp from my last letter appointment as I get my appointments by letter these days as I am not on benefits and NI credits only. if they have sent a letter via to the phone call it must have been delayed and they have phoned to confirm my app but have not waited long enough for letter to arrive but as I say I will ring the number from the letter and not the one just now on my mobile ( just in case its a scam) they don't normally ring me but I| suppose as the job centres have been shut for months due to coronavirus they are letting me know they are open again as its 22/12/2020 and they are probably wanting me in tomorrow but like I say not ringing that number the dwp from my last letter last year will be able to confirm if its genuine or not and I advise everybody to do this but wait a least five minutes to ring from the same phone you had the call or ring from another like a landline or another mobile as fraudster's could be still connected to your phone !
