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.

Looks like another scam.
Avoid answering – the call was fraudulent.
Everything’s fine so far 👍
Hello there!
Call related to a florist.
Sounds like a criminal operation, mate.
Seems criminal.
Unsolicited call offering around half‑price on a monthly phone bill.
Answered the call, stayed silent while a call centre noise droned on, they even knew my name with a slight non‑UK accent, then hung up – definately blocked as spam, mate.
Call centre appears fraudulent.
I didn't answer the call.
Looks like a scam pretending to be PayPal, mate.
Although this number never reached me, an email claimed a £869.98 USD transaction was approved from my PayPal for BTC purchase; the links even looked legit, yet I’m not calling them.
Even though the digits appear genuine, a quick Google search flagged them as spam, which is irritating when you’re unsure who’s trying to reach you.
Got a recorded message telling me to add them on WhatsApp, no clue who they are, cheers.
Fraudsters alleged I owned a diesel vehicle in the past 20 years, citing DVLA data, though I've never had a diesel car.
Since I let the unknown call go to voicemail and got nothing back, I’m assuming it’s a scam.
Not certain.
