Expert Opinion
Calls from this number often come across as dodgy automated messages pretending to be from HMRC about unpaid taxes or legal threats, urging you to press a button to pay up. Some reports mention fake Vodafone reps promising bill cuts, or odd job-related prompts to add them on WhatsApp. These are classic scam tactics to trick folk into sharing details or sending cash. Hang up immediately if you get one—don't engage. Block the number and report it to Action Fraud. Keep an eye on your accounts for any funny business, and never pay over the phone for such claims. Staying vigilant stops these nuisances in their tracks.
