Expert Opinion

Recent patterns reveal that the +44 207 098 343 prefix is frequently abused for telephone fraud, with callers pretending to represent banks such as ING or RBS, as well as dubious investment firms like IFX capitol. Victims report persistent pressure to share personal details or accept unauthorised services, a hallmark of scam tactics. The use of multiple suffixes (e.g., 43, 70, 80, 28) suggests caller ID spoofing to evade detection. To stay safe, verify any unsolicited request by contacting the genuine institution through official channels, avoid providing sensitive data over the phone, and report suspicious numbers to the telecom regulator. Implementing a call‑blocking app can also reduce exposure.
