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.

Call regarding an energy provider switch.
When EE inquired about my most recent mobile bill and I replied that I don't own an EE handset, the caller abruptly ended the call. I struggled to understand her because she spoke with a foreign accent.
Attempted credit‑card fraud.
Someone was asking for Karen, right?
When you pick up, there’s nobody on the line; it feels like a call centre where multiple calls are queued and the first answered gets a brief spiel.
