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.

The call appeared international and seemed business‑related, yet it came from a personal number, which feels sketchy—best to steer clear.
The number appears as Manchester Craft Centre but looks like an O2 scam; the caller identified herself as Sarah from O2, so I hung up.
Fraud alert!
I got an unsolicited message that just said “hello”.
The caller pretended there was a Royal Mail package and requested my bank details – clearly a scam.
The caller asked whether I’d purchased a financed Fiat hatchback and mentioned possible compensation; I told her the call was irrelevant, she hung up, but she knew my first name and called me Mrs A, so I blocked the number.
An Indian man named Kevin, claiming to be from Amazon, attempted to swindle me.
I keep getting the same automated computer message over and over.
