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.

Voice with a foreign accent, couldn't make out a word of what was said.
Déconnecté au répondeur. Sans doute un numéro usurpé. Bloquer est inutile, ils en utiliseront un autre demain.

As I told the bloke, kindly fulfil the info duty (per the personal data protection act), he suggested I report him to the prosecutors. Total con artists!!!
idiots
Unrecognised caller.
Claims to be from Sky network but I'm not a customer, and they keep ringing repeatedly
No message was left by the caller when the call went unanswered

Potential fraud scheme
Ping call again – just a brief, pointless ring.
I received a call from someone claiming to be from EE, but their tone seemed off, so I gave them nothing. It's definately wise to stay cautious with such calls.
Det är mycket mas og trøbbel.
