That call gave itself away as a scam the moment the pause hit before the “connection” click. A heavy accent claimed to be from Citizens Advice, talking about a debt I was worried about and offering help. Marked it dangerous – even though I haven’t contacted CA, plenty of folks might fall for it, you know.

Expert Opinion
Beware of unsolicited calls mimicking trusted organisations. This one impersonates Citizens Advice to exploit debt worries, using a pause and accent as red flags. Hang up immediately and never share details. Report to Action Fraud or Ofcom to curb these scams. Block the number and verify any real help directly via official channels like citizensadvice.org.uk. Scammers prey on vulnerability, so stay cautious—genuine advisors won't cold-call for sensitive issues.
