Expert Opinion

Last week, as drizzle fell over Camden, my phone lit up with yet another 0204 call. Most of the reports describe vague claims – from bogus BT support to fake debt collectors – that quickly turn hostile, a classic pattern of scam activity. The safest approach is to let unknown numbers go to voicemail and never share personal details. Register the number on the Telephone Preference Service, enable your handset’s call‑blocking feature, and ask your provider for a carrier‑level block if the calls persist. Document each call and forward the details to Action Fraud; this helps authorities track abusive callers and can reduce future nuisance. Staying cautious and using built‑in blocking tools will keep your line much quieter.
