I received a questionable call about job opportunities from INDEED recruitment, probably aiming to harvest personal data.

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 spam call claiming to be Vodafone Limited rang; I let it go to voicemail before abandoning it.
It felt like I was speaking to a robot.
It seemed to be an offshore call centre inquiring about a supposed accident I’d had, so I hung up and blocked the number.
I have no idea who the number belongs to.
The London Mint Office seemed shady, mate.
Yet another irritating survey call.
Received an unknown number, and I don’t know anyone in Brighton, mate.
Seems to be a crypto investigation team call, honestly.
Pertains to family matters.
No acquaintances of mine reside in Sheffield.
This was a scam.
Couldn't make out any speech, yeah.
Just saw it on UK Today, mate.
Identified as a scam.
Provided a straightforward explanation in response to a request for waste disposal.
Unnecessary.
They claimed the call was to renew my Vodafone contract, but I don't have one.
A call claimed my crypto account – just over £200 – was still active and appreciating, even though I never had a crypto account. It then transferred me to a live advisor who was busy, so I hung up. Definitely a scam; another similar call mentioned £400,000 and the agent got angry when I said I didn't have an account.
An identical Leeds robo‑caller scam appeared on a fresh number. Block it.
