UK numbers: context and signals
Unsure about a UK caller? Find fresh community reports to judge unknown calls or texts. In London, Manchester, Birmingham, Edinburgh or Glasgow you’ll see legitimate callbacks (banks, clinics, deliveries) alongside waves of automated or misleading contacts. Area codes like 020, 0161, 0121, 0131 are not reliable for location due to portability/VoIP — use them as context, not proof.
What to do: if unsure, return calls via the official number on the company site/app, check in‑app notices, and don’t share one‑time codes. Use device filters/blocks and, if available, carrier tools (EE, O2, Vodafone, Three). Share a short factual note here so others can decide faster.

Dette nummeret fra Dyrenes Beskyttelse er ekstremt irriterende. De tar ikke nei for et nei og fortsetter å ringe. Jeg har nå blokkert det på mobilen.
I’m gutted after adopting a cat from their shelter only to find it had meningitis; they’ve been calling me daily and claim it’s a campaign number when I call back, so I’ve blocked them, you know.
Jeg har blokeret nummeret, men de ringer nu tilbage fra et privat nummer 3‑4 gange om dagen. Dyrenes Beskyttelse er virkelig irriterende – de skal lære, at nej betyder nej, for pokker!

Denne NGO, Dyrenes Beskyttelse, ringer når du har brugt nummer 1812, adopteret et dyr fra et internat eller på anden måde været involveret i dyrehjælp.
