Dodgy Telecom Scam Alert!
Summary — +447742254243
Expert Opinion
Spot unsolicited calls from unknown numbers straight away and hang up without engaging. These reports highlight a pattern of dodgy callers posing as telecom giants like Vodafone or Virgin Media, often with heavy accents and scripted pitches about broadband fixes or discounts. Silent lines, automated loops, or abrupt hang-ups scream scam tactics designed to hook the unwary. Block the number immediately and report to your provider or Action Fraud to curb the nuisance. If pressed for details, never share personal info—it's a ploy to steal data or push fake deals. Stay vigilant; these pests thrive on quick responses.
