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.

441273435963 Scam British Gas (scam)

An individual with an Indian accent claimed to be from British Gas, asked about my boiler, then requested bank details, beginning with "Am I speaking to the man of the house?" When I questioned the legitimacy, she denied it, but hung up when I asked for my name and address. I have no boiler cover or dealings with British Gas, and this was the third call in recent days with varying caller IDs. Waste of time – consider delaying by asking for a checkbook and using a fake name generator.
