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.

User notes: Bad
Scam involving electricity and gas.
This energy scam felt like a classic cost trap – beware of hidden fees if they call you.
Suona e poi mettono giù.
The 'truffa energia' call was a classic cost trap – they tried to lure me with cheap rates that vanished quickly.
Cost trap attempt – the caller pressed for a quick sign‑up to an overpriced plan before I could ask questions.
They called back claiming my loft could be hazardous, and I admitted I wasn’t certain. They suggested sending a technician, which feels rather unsettling.
Beim dritten Anruf wurde abgehoben – kein Ton, nur Stille – gefolgt von drei weiteren Versuchen, dann blockiert.
Automated AI outreach was pitching care‑assessment services and related products, probably linked with online orders for care supplies for dependents.
Ten missed calls over three days – outright phone harassment.
Harassment call that kept coming back despite my clear refusal. Not acceptable.
User notes: Safe
User labelled this number as 'Other', according to their note. Cheers!
Mehrere wöchentliche Anrufe erfolgen von ähnlichen Nummern.
I received a missed call from a ‘housing disrepair team’. Since I have no such issues, I won’t return the call – it feels dodgy.
