Expert Opinion
Take heed of the barrage of calls coming from +447893072847 – they’re clearly part of an aggressive insurance telemarketing operation. Callers often claim to offer life‑insurance quotes, switch numbers and use high‑pressure tactics to keep you on the line. Never share personal or financial details, and don’t press any keys unless you’re certain of the caller’s identity. Block the number on your handset, add it to the Telephone Preference Service, and report the abuse to Action Fraud. If the call references a bank or visa, treat it as a phishing attempt and delete any links immediately. Staying vigilant and reporting promptly are your best defences.
