Expert Opinion
Yesterday afternoon, several residents reported calls from +441216047056 claiming to be a council survey team. The callers usually mention Oxfordshire County Council or a central feedback centre and ask for details about recent repairs or service satisfaction. Such outreach is legitimate when it originates from an official council number, but scammers often mimic this script to harvest personal data. Ask for a reference number, verify it on the council’s website, and never disclose full addresses, bank details or passwords. If the call feels pressurised, hang up and call back using the official council contact line. Maintaining a record of the call can aid any later investigation.
