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.

Someone pretended to represent TotalAV; I hung up – legitimate antivirus firms never cold‑call, so it’s almost certainly a scam.

You answer, it rings, then it just drops – proper annoying, yeah.
Someone pretended to be one of my children, claiming their phone was broken and they needed money – clearly a scam.
