Expert Opinion
Fewer than one in ten such calls might actually be legit, yet this number's track record screams scam from the rooftops. Comments paint a picture of persistent fraudsters impersonating mobile networks like O2 or 3, peddling fake SIM swaps or appliance warranties to skim your details. Accents often flagged as non-UK add to the dodgy vibe. Hang up immediately if they ring; never share personal info or confirm details. Block the number straight away and report to Action Fraud for the greater good. Enable caller ID apps for extra armour against these nuisances—better safe than sorry with your data on the line.
