Expert Opinion

Ever pondered why unknown callers seem to know your name? Reports on this number suggest it's often a scam attempt, with callers posing as broadband providers to extract personal details like bank info. They might start with a friendly greeting or questions about your service, but hang up when challenged—classic evasion tactics. Some describe silence or quick disconnections, heightening suspicion. Practical advice: Never share details over unsolicited calls; verify directly with your provider using official numbers. Block the contact and report to Ofcom or Action Fraud to curb these nuisances. Staying vigilant protects against data theft.
