Yesterday afternoon, a wave of reports surfaced about calls from the 0161 240 5000 number that display as Oldham County Court. Callers hear an automated, often accented voice demanding that you press 1 to 'speak to an officer' or threatening that your National Insurance number will be blocked. This pattern is a classic scam designed to harvest personal info and extract money. If the call is unsolicited, let it go to voicemail and never follow prompts. Block the number in your phone, report it to your provider and to Action Fraud, and remind anyone else not to share details. Staying skeptical and not engaging stops these fraudsters fast.
