Expert Opinion

Calls spoofing local council numbers rarely deliver genuine service—here, they're pushing fake housing disrepair claims from overseas call centres. Background chatter and quick hang-ups scream scam tactics, often leading to data theft or bogus fees. Don't engage; simply hang up or let it ring out. Register with the Telephone Preference Service to cut nuisance calls, and report to Action Fraud if they've tricked you into sharing details. Blocking the number helps, but scammers rotate them, so stay vigilant with caller ID apps. These pests prey on trust in public services, but awareness keeps you one step ahead.
