Expert Opinion
Reports consistently highlight unsolicited calls from this number, often impersonating official entities like Citizens Advice to discuss debt consolidation or personal loans.

Silent calls also feature, a common ploy to verify active lines. Block immediately and report to authorities like Action Fraud. Avoid sharing info; verify debts directly with creditors. Enable call screening on your phone to filter unknowns, and consider apps for spam detection to stay safe from persistent fraudsters.

Having read the reports, I’m going to block this number.
Scammers also label themselves as “The Debt Reducers” or similar. When you block them, they simply spoof another bogus number. Definitely fraudulent – this is my umpteenth report.
He said he was with Citizens Advice; when I asked to be removed from their list he replied he couldn't and then hung up.
I answered the ringing phone but stayed silent because I didn’t recognise the number; the other side said nothing, just silence – typical scam call.
I was phoned about debt consolidation, and they even knew my name. Supposedly representing a financial authority, though the accent made the agency unclear, and they turned hostile when I declined.
He claimed his name was Steve from a citizens advice verification team about a debt. When I asked for specifics, he mentioned personal loans, which I don't have, and he abruptly hung up. I'm confident the name was fake and the number should be avoided.
