This number originates persistent lottery-related scams, where callers falsely claim winnings or free entries to extract banking details or push subscriptions. Reports consistently highlight manipulative tactics, like using personal info to build trust and insisting on financial data under false pretences. Hang up immediately if you receive such a call—never share account numbers, sort codes, or other details. Block the number via your phone settings or apps like Truecaller for added protection. Report to Action Fraud to help curb these nuisances, and consider registering with the Telephone Preference Service to reduce unwanted calls overall.
A persistent bloke claimed I'd scored some lottery tickets at a bargain rate. He asked for my bank details, insisting that as a fraud, he couldn't withdraw funds. He seemed utterly believable and repeatedly guaranteed it was legit. When I inquired if the offer could go via the app, he refused. Highly dubious.
Received a lotto recorded message telling me to call back after 5pm – blocked the number straight away.
Bogus lottery scheme
Claims to be from ‘lotto’, automated message on playback, so clearly biased.

About an hour back, I posted a review here—these callers have been non-stop ever since. Block them, I'd advise
Picked up by mistake after spotting it as potential spam. They mentioned "something gaming" and free weekend lottery entries won. Knew my first name and house number. Politely declined, and the line clicked dead shortly after.
Rings every day, bloody annoying
Called twice this morning; picking up ends the line instantly.
Lottery firm. Pushed free scratchers but aimed to sign up for a subscription.
