Fresh data indicates a surge in missed calls from numbers that mimic official TV licence contacts, often routed through call centres that swap the last two digits to avoid detection. Callers typically claim to represent a licensing authority, pressuring recipients to verify details or make payments. Telemarketing tactics disguise themselves as legitimate inquiries, which can trap unwary consumers. If you receive such a call, hang up, check the official TV licence website, and never share personal or payment info over the phone. Report suspicious numbers to your telecom provider and consider blocking the caller ID to reduce future disruptions.
Several missed calls from this number with no voicemail. Finally answered the latest one—it's a call center for TV licenses. Other similar numbers hit me this week, likely a center varying the last two digits.
