Expert Opinion

Imagine receiving a Mandarin‑spoken message claiming you have urgent documents at the Chinese Embassy. Most reports flag the number as a scam, with callers impersonating officials to harvest personal details. Avoid answering unknown numbers that display a foreign embassy name, and never disclose passport numbers, credit‑card data or any personal information. If a voicemail references legal trouble or financial crime, treat it as suspicious and block the caller. Report the number to your mobile provider and, where appropriate, to Action Fraud. Consider registering your contact details with the Telephone Preference Service to reduce unsolicited calls, and always verify any embassy contact through the official website before taking action.
