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.

Beware of spam from a landline selling internet services.
They pretended to be Indian police in London, saying my identity was used to register a Mumbai number involved in scams. They asked me to travel to London or lodge a complaint with Mumbai police, then tried to transfer me. I called them out as a scam and hung up.
Strange text arrived from this contact.
I got a phone call alleging I owed money, using an alias linked to a disposable email I employ; that tipped me off to a scam. The voice sounded Asian, probably Indian, and background chatter suggested a call‑centre environment.
I get daily calls from the Alton area code; no message left, so I assume it’s spam.
