Expert Opinion
Calls pretending to be from Citizens Advice have become a nuisance for many. The pattern is clear: callers use a familiar public‑service name, ask for personal or financial details, and often turn abusive when you push back. If you receive such a ring, hang up immediately and block the number on your handset. Register the number with the UK’s Do Not Call registry and log the incident with Action Fraud – they can trace repeat offenders. Never confirm your address, DOB or bank information unless you’ve initiated the contact yourself. Keep a short record of call times and any exact phrasing; it helps investigators identify the scam network.
