Called on a Sunday. Didn't answer as i have no open case with them for over 2 years. Kids all grown adults.. Checked online that it was actually the number for child maintenance and it is. However, they are only open mon-fri 9-4. Looks like their system/number has been hacked or cloned.
A lady called bernice on the line advising me i one of my employees needed to pay child maintenance. Funny given that i have no business or employees for that matter. I advised her of this and she screamed and shouted down the phone saying i would have a large fine coming my way if i dared to hang up. I contacted dwp who confirmed it was a scam.
Phoned me on a Sunday and the automated message when I called back said they are only open Monday - Friday until 4pm. Probably a scammer cloned the number
Looks like the number has been cloned. Beware. It’s highly unlikely it was a genuine call from The Child MaIntenance services as called on a bank holiday.
Confirmed it today 5th May 2021. The number is now being spoofed by criminals trying to con us out of our money. I do not even have children and the child maintenance services if I had a child would of sent me a letter. Ladies gentlemen please be aware and look after yourself
