Calls from Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) Scam with the number +448000720161 - Expert Opinion

Tellows users have reported receiving calls from the number 08000720161, with the caller posing as representatives from the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP). These scammers claim to inform about changes in benefit payments or adjustments to recipients' accounts. However, it's important to note that DWP typically does not make such calls regarding personal account details over the phone. To ensure safety and avoid potential scams, individuals should exercise caution and verify the legitimacy of such calls independently through official channels provided by DWP.
