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.

Honestly, I don't know anyone in Aldershot, mate.
They called with a text‑to‑speech message claiming a job vacancy and asking to add them on WhatsApp. Don’t fall for it – they’re scammers. A quick Google search shows it’s a work‑from‑home scam, pure fake. They’re after your cash, mate!
