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.

Avoid answering – it was a crypto‑related scam. The caller pretended to be from Blockchain maintenance and I hung up straight away.
Received this message yesterday – unmistakably a scam. It pretended to be a DVLA reminder, claiming an outstanding balance and threatening registration suspension on 5 Aug 2025, credit‑record impact, legal action and other penalties. It urged me to visit a link (https://gov.noticeaat.cfd/uk) and to send “Y” to activate it. Clearly fraudulent.
