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.

447520691666 Spam HMRC (scam)

Received a call from this number, didn't pick up, no voicemail left. A different reporting platform lists 145 instances of scam calls, such as HMRC and job agencies. The HMRC ones use a recorded message urging you to press 1 for an operator. Avoid that. Clearly a hazardous number! Provider TISMI faces OFCOM probe over scammer activity by users. Probe continues.
