Nuisance Housing Scam Alert
Summary — +441144891996
Expert Opinion
Like an uninvited guest at a garden party, these unsolicited calls barge in without warning, often leaving a bad taste. Reports paint a picture of persistent nuisance from this number, with silent lines, grunts, and dodgy claims about council housing aid for non-tenants. Scam alerts pop up frequently on phones, advising blocks straight away. While some chats veer into 'reputable databases' nonsense, most end in hang-ups or dead air. Best move? Screen unknowns with apps, never share details, and report to Ofcom if it escalates. Blocking's your first line of defence—keeps the riff-raff out without a fuss.
