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.

Could someone identify who owns the calling number +44 800 107 7727? I'm unsure.
A fraudster from India.
They keep calling.
A job was presented via a phone message
An automated call claimed to be about my washing machine.
They claimed I failed a Halfords MOT, yet I don’t have a car and I'm only 13.
This is harassment.
An automated call warned that about £800 would be withdrawn from my account unless I pressed 1 on my keypad; I hung up straight away.
Looks like HR, right? Cheers.
Vehicle financing scam
One more mate of mine.
Received a WhatsApp scam call from this line, proper dodgy, mate.
They say they can assist with unsecured debt, but when I asked who they represented, the call dropped.
Reference to a tax credit.
I'm constantly being nagged about smart meters, to be honest.
Inquiring about details.
