Expert Opinion

Undoubtedly fraudulent, this number is being used for a range of impersonation scams, from fake Sky broadband alerts to bogus Amazon Prime charges. Callers typically claim to represent the Telephone Preference Service, banks, or utility firms, then pressure you for personal or payment details. Spoofed origins make tracing difficult, so treat any unexpected request for card numbers or verification as suspicious. Hang up immediately, block the caller on your device, and report the number to your phone provider and the TPS. Regularly review your consent lists and enable any available caller‑ID authentication to reduce future exposure.
