Usually I ignore unknown numbers, yet I was expecting an important call from an unfamiliar line. I barely caught what the caller said, so I replied with my usual line, “this sounds like a scam.” She said there was no obligation to stay on, so I hung up. They’ll probably attempt another call.
Suspicious Voucher Offer Scam
Summary — +447493533698
Expert Opinion
In the midst of a typical afternoon rush in London, these reports paint a clear picture of persistent nuisance calls from this number. Most experiences involve impersonation of major telecoms like Vodafone, O2, or 3 Mobile, or even Sky and Amazon, pushing fake discounts, freebies, or vouchers that inevitably lead to demands for personal details or payments. Silent hangs-ups and automated goodbyes suggest automated probing for active lines too. Block immediately upon recognition, and report to your provider or Action Fraud to curb the spread. Never share codes or details—legit firms use official channels like email or apps. If unsure, hang up and verify directly with the company.

Impersonating Vodafone.

When I answered, an automated voice said “goodbye” and the call dropped instantly. It turned out to be a scam test, so it's best to ignore unknown numbers that may be used to add you to a fraud list.
