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.
Looking to link up on WhatsApp and Messenger for a job chat, yeah.
The caller introduced herself as Maria from Amazon, claimed I’d purchased an iPhone 14 for £745 – which I hadn’t – and demanded my Amazon account details. Her accent suggested Indian origin. It appears to be a scam, as highlighted on Nick Stapleton’s BBC Fraud Interceptors programme.

Got an unsolicited ring with no voicemail left – definitely fishy. Cheers.
