Expert Opinion

Earlier this evening, dozens of callers have flagged persistent calls from +441383628774 claiming to represent a cancer research charity. The pattern – frequent, unanswered rings, requests for personal details and a money‑collection box – matches typical charity‑fundraising scams. Protect yourself by refusing to share name, address or bank information, and politely terminate the call. Register the number on the Telephone Preference Service, report the nuisance to OFCOM and, if you suspect fraud, forward the details to Action Fraud. Consider using your handset’s built‑in block feature or a third‑party app to silence the number. Never give money without verifying the charity’s official contact details; check their website or call the registered phone line directly.
