Expert Opinion

These calls from +44 161 249 6935 are almost certainly a scam. Callers use strong foreign accents and claim to be from a ‘UK housing’ or ‘disrepair’ team, but they rarely state a clear company name and hang up if you press for details. They often drop the line once you engage, a classic pressure‑tactic. If you receive such a call, let it go to voicemail, block the number and never share personal or financial information. Report the number to your phone provider or a consumer protection agency – it helps curb these nuisance calls for everyone.

Used an outdated name for me. I requested the company name three times but his accent and rapid speech made it hard to catch—something like UK followed by another word. Asked him to repeat slowly, but he ended the call when pressed. Blocked now.
