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.
A stranger called on a Sunday, leaving me uncertain about its legitimacy.
Potential scam.
Looks like a criminal attempt.
Unsolicited spam call.
Several other users flagged this as a TikTok promotion scam.
Clearly a scam.
Just the word TikTok, no context.
Supposed energy company, definitely phishing – watch out, mate.
Heard a recorded pitch from INDEED RESOURCES about a job – sounds like a scam, yeah.
Quiet call, no words at all – classic spam, yeah.
Totally a criminal operation, no doubt about it, mate.
I received a cold call from what sounded like a busy overseas call centre; they asked for Maria – my mother who passed away eight years ago – and I told them never to call again before blocking the number.
A woman with an Asian‑sounding voice asked for a person by name. After I said I didn't know anyone with that name, she apologized and ended the call. Likely a cold‑call scam.
Someone pretended to represent a blockchain service, claiming a non‑existent Bitcoin account was blocked, spouting nonsense.
A representative from EE attempted to pitch an upgrade during the call.
They’re Indian scammers, ####.
Went to voicemail but left no message; identical to calls from 24 Numbers.
My own number appears to have been spoofed; please don't call back as I'm trying to resolve it.
