Expert Opinion

Reports consistently highlight unsolicited calls from this number, often tied to aggressive door-to-door sales for electricity switching. Callers claim affiliations like National Grid or invent website visits to hook recipients, escalating to harassment if rebuffed. Linked in-person approaches by young males amplify the intrusive pattern, with tactics including hang-ups and persistent follow-ups despite blocks. Key red flags include unsolicited personal details and pressure for switches. To protect against such nuisances, enable caller ID screening, register with the Telephone Preference Service, and report to Ofcom or Action Fraud without sharing info. Blocking proves effective, though persistence suggests broader networks at play.
