Expert Opinion
Calls from this number scream housing scam—avoid engaging at all costs. Scammers often pose as council officials or housing reps to probe for personal details, like repair needs or residency, aiming to exploit vulnerabilities. Reports highlight suspicious accents and abrupt hang-ups to test active lines. Never share info with unsolicited callers; instead, hang up immediately and report to Action Fraud. Block the number via your phone settings, and consider registering with the Telephone Preference Service to cut nuisance calls. If you've answered, monitor accounts for unusual activity and change passwords proactively. Staying vigilant keeps you safe from these dodgy tactics.

Someone pretended to be from council housing, inquiring about needed repairs; I don’t live in council housing and the female caller had an Indian‑type accent, so I’m wary.
The call was dropped as soon as I picked up; likely a scam test to see if my line was active.
I got a call from that line, but my phone flagged it as a scam, so I didn't answer and have since blocked it – all sorted.
The gentleman, who seemed to have a faint Indian accent, rang and asked whether I had any housing issues; I said no and the call ended.
It turned out to be a rental‑related scam.
These callers are clearly scammers.
A number I don't recognise called, apparently linked to a housing fraud – stay alert.
