Like a locked diary, your personal details shouldn’t be handed out to strangers on the phone. When a call arrives from +448000232635 claiming to be from the Department for Work and Pensions, treat it as a verification step first. Ask for a call‑back number on an official letter or log into your online DWP account before sharing any personal data. Be wary of urgent language or promises of “good news” – these are common pressure tactics. Record the call, note the time and content, and report suspicious numbers to the Information Commissioner’s Office. Keeping a sceptical stance protects you from identity theft and unauthorised data use.

Someone claimed I received good news
They seemd helpfull, a pleasant suprise
Claimed to be from ESA GIRO Job Centre, but sounded suspicious. Asked for personal details right away. I hung up and reported it.
This unknown caller rang once and hung up without speaking. Feels suspicious, like they were checking if the line was active. Better to ignore future calls.
When I answered the call, a female voice asked for someone named Fiorentina, and after I informed her that she had the wrong number, the call ended, leaving me skeptical about the authenticity of the call, especially if it was indeed from the DWP, as I would have expected prior notification through the press.
This afternoon's call was from my DWP advisor, confirming the number's legitimacy.
It's puzzling that this number claimed to be from DWP when we don't receive any benefits, which makes the call seem suspicious.
The DWP contacted me, already possessing the necessary information, and only required a date to reinstate my mother's benefits, without requesting any additional sensitive information.
This number is associated with the DWP, and the call was expected as part of the universal credit rollout.
I have no issue with this number, they called me about Universal Credit and it was a completly normal conversation.
My family member received a call from a man identifying himself as 'Neil from Sheffield DWP', who addressed me by name despite calling my family member's mobile, leaving me concerned about the purpose of the call and its potential relation to upcoming benefit changes

Upon receiving a call from 08000232635, the representative claimed to be from DWP UC and proceeded to inquire about my personal life, including my sleeping arrangements, which I deemed an invasion of privacy, leading to my embarrassment and confusion regarding the purpose of such questions.
