I recieved an SMS message from ParcelForce, the dates and times matched the updates on their website, so it seems legit, but the language used was unnessasary.
BT Text‑to‑Speech Calls: Scam or Simple Service?

Expert Opinion
Around dusk, dozens of callers reported hearing the same automated voice from +448456021111. The number belongs to BT’s Text‑to‑Speech relay service that converts incoming SMS to an audio message for landlines. Because the service reads the originating number, scammers sometimes hijack it to deliver fake parcel or billing alerts, which explains the frequent “scam” labels. The calls are generally harmless if the message is simply listened to and no keypad input is entered. To avoid annoyance, add the number to a block list, disable BT’s text‑to‑speech feature with your provider, or send a test text to confirm legitimacy. Listen before you act, and never share personal data over the line.

This number is unsafe, and the green poster is well aware. Scammers use it to trick people into pressing 1, leading to costly traps. They even pose as BT to extract personal details. Blocking it won’t cause you to miss any genuine messages. The green poster’s continuous attempts to deceive people highlight the danger.

This BT text-to-audio service is clearly being misused by fraudsters, which should raise serious concerns. It's baffling that one individual continues to assert this number is safe when almost everyone else disagrees. The evidence of danger is apparent for all to see, yet this person insists otherwise, which is quite ridiculous.

Scam
Given the potential for scamming associated with this number, it's surprising that it has a neutral rating, and perhaps telephone providers like BT should implement stricter vetting processes for allocating numbers.
