Unexpected Calls: Scam Warning?
Summary — +442922229489
Expert Opinion
Scarcely a day passes without reports of spoofed numbers like this one cropping up in scam alerts. These calls from +442922229489 overwhelmingly point to phishing operations, where fraudsters pose as bank reps or charity workers to extract personal details. Punters in the UK are rightly fuming, blocking and reporting these nuisances left and right. The accents hint at overseas call centres, often in India or Pakistan, using UK prefixes to seem legit. Action Fraud is your go-to for official reports, and forwarding the number to 7726 flags it with your network provider. Stay vigilant: never share banking info over unsolicited calls, and consider apps that screen unknowns to keep these pests at bay.

Scammers running phishing ops... I've blocked them
Received an unsolicited call on my phone without any voicemail. The device flags it as potential fraud.
Unwanted call
A woman calling herself “Tina” from the “Help the Heroes” outfit was pulling a scam on Wednesday—claiming to be in Coventry, but today it's Cardiff. How despicably low can these fraudsters sink, exploiting a legitimate and valuable charity to fleece us?
Scammers from Asia attempting to steal your banking information – ignore every word from these lowlife crooks, as no legitimate business exists no matter what name they claim, simply by all refusing to pick up the phone they'll be unable to rob you blind, they're concealing their true identity for obvious shady motives, and if the dialling code is +44 then it's likely an automated system, plus make sure to notify Action Fraud and forward the spam text to 7726
Number now blocked after calls from an India/Pakistan call centre – it's spam. Someone named Angelina (Indian/Pakistani) rang a few times and called back later that day. She claimed to be from a bank fraud team (not my bank). Report to Action Fraud and text the number to 7726.

She's ringing me non-stop from various spots across the UK, yet every call turns out to be a total scam!
