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.

A company is attempting to scam me. I signed up for something I’m no longer interested in, but they refuse to take no for an answer. I’ve even threatened with police and legal action, but they claim they can call as much as they want. It’s harassment, and they won’t leave me alone. I downloaded your app, which helped for a while, but now I’m getting 20 to 30 calls daily. It’s causing depression and sleep deprivation, as they’ve been waking me up every hour since 8 this morning, and it’s draining my battery life too.
