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.

Annoying telephone ring.

Received an unexpected call from an Asian man.
Just investment nonsense.
Attempted "Event Viewer" scam spoken in broken English, trying to gain access to your PC. Becomes aggressive if you don’t fall for it – clearly shady and dangerous.

Hello!
Just a silent ring, no one spoke, right?
