Expert Opinion

Earlier this week, callers from +442039158318 have been linked to a persistent scheme presenting itself as a university‑funded loan service. Recipients report aggressive follow‑ups, foreign accents and pressure to disclose personal details, often under the guise of "Novelwall" or similar. The pattern matches classic scam tactics: limited‑time offers, vague funding promises and repeated harassing calls. If you receive such a call, hang up immediately, avoid sharing any information and block the number. Report the incident to your phone provider and, where appropriate, to Action Fraud. Stay wary of unsolicited education‑finance offers, especially those demanding bank details.
