Expert Opinion
Recent complaints highlight a flood of calls from +44 300 555 0285 purporting to be TV Licensing, many of which turn out to be fraudulent. Callers often demand immediate payment, personal details or a rushed decision, and they frequently repeat the message even after you ask them to stop. To protect yourself, always verify the caller against the official TV Licensing numbers (0300 790 6075, 0300 555 0285, 0300 555 0355). Never share bank details, address or date of birth over the phone unless you have initiated the call on the genuine website. Use call‑blocking features, report suspicious numbers to the regulator and keep a written record of any contact.

This is about TV licensing and isn't a scam!
It appears to be the TV License company, they contacted me about a missed payment, the number on the license is 0300 555 0300, not a scam per se...
This phone number is used by TV licensing to contact customers with card payment plans who are behind on payments, offering them an opportunity to settle their accounts.
Apparently this number is legitimate, it's the TV licensing card payment scheme reaching out to customers who've missed payments, supposibly.

A person claiming to be from TV Licencing contacted me, asking for my adress and postcode, I refused to provide the information and they told me to contact TV Licencing directly, I beleive this to be a scam and advise others not to give them any information.
