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.
Since early November, calls have been continuous.
Mehrfache Anrufe täglich zu unpassenden Zeiten

Mehrere Anrufe pro Tag, bei denen nichts gesagt wird.
Keiner meldet sich, ich wurde in den letzten zwei Tagen sechsmal angerufen, aber niemand nimmt ab.
Can't pinpoint who this is, but the call felt rather vague.
Receives multiple calls each day at impossible hours.
In nur zwei Tagen erhielt ich sechs Anrufe zu unmöglichen Zeiten, über den ganzen Tag verteilt.
Seit drei Wochen klingelt er mehrmals täglich an
Another harassing call – the tone was rude and the purpose unclear, better to block it.
Unknown caller again; no clear reason for the ring.
This number rang me up with a typical spam vibe, probably best ignored.
Suspected spam; the script was generic and the number feels dodgy.
Attempting to market electricity
I never pick up calls from strangers, no way, mate.
Late last night the phone rang from this number, but no message followed—just silence. It seems like a robocaller testing whether I’m at home.
Received a call today where someone claimed to be from Vodafone offering a new deal; it felt a bit fishy, but I’m glad I didn’t hand over any details, cheers.
Yet another scammer pretended to be from EE, made a silent call and I recognized it as dodgy – they should find a real job.
Honestly, that AI bot keeps pestering me about housing problems I don't even have—proper annoying! I blocked it straight away, hope it quits. Cheers!
