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.

This seems to be a scam or spam related to insurance.
Attempted to sell life insurance while impersonating my current provider, a clear scam since I'm aware they're not affiliated.
An automated message from my bank alerted me to a potential Amazon transaction
Unknown number.
The call appeared to come from Enniskillen, but the woman, who sounded Indian, said her name was Jessica. She claimed to be from Welwyn Garden City and offered a discount on my O2 Tesco bill. When I asked for a meeting, she said she lived in Portsmouth. I hung up and marked it as spam.
