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.

Marked as obvious spam relating to DVLA car tax arrears; it has been reported and blocked.
The site looks very polished and credible, yet I doubt the DVLA would use a phone message for this – thanks to everyone who flagged it.
Received a message on 15/9/25 claiming to be from the DVLA saying they failed to process my car tax and dropped a link I steered clear of, as it felt like a scam, mate.
