Expert Opinion

This morning, a series of calls from +441234567890 rang my phone without leaving a message. The pattern points to an Amazon impersonation scam that frequently uses urgent language about Prime renewals or unauthorised payments. If the number is unknown, let it go to voicemail and avoid engaging with any prompts. Verify any Amazon‑related requests by contacting the official Amazon customer service line or checking your account online. Consider adding the caller to your phone’s block list and report the incident to Action Fraud or your mobile provider. Regularly review your call‑screening settings to limit future unwanted rings.
