Expert Opinion
Like a wolf in sheep's clothing, these calls masquerade as legitimate inquiries but aim to fleece the unwary. Reports paint a picture of persistent scammers posing as utility firms or insurers, from British Gas to Legal & General, often with poor English or silence on the line. Hang up immediately if something feels off—never share personal details. Register with TPS if not already, and use call-blocking apps to filter unknowns. Report to Action Fraud for tracking. Blocking helps, but vigilance is key; these nuisances rotate numbers to dodge filters.
