A spoofed number posed as a housing‑welfare agent abroad; she cut the call at 41 seconds once I turned the phone near my radio, confirming a scam.

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.
They alleged they were offering quick loans.

Silent Call
When the landline rang, I answered but heard nothing; after about seven seconds the line clicked as the caller hung up – any legitimate caller would have spoken.
The caller claimed to be representing EE, which turned out to be false.
I didn't recognise the caller, let it ring, and no voicemail was left – likely a scam or possibly a misdial.
I received a housing‑related scam call earlier.
442039616354
Harassment Call
A female caller claimed to be an energy adviser for the area, yet the number suggested she was over a hundred miles away. I told her she was wrong and hung up.
The call pretended to be from a housing disrepair department.
A man called himself James, claimed to be checking on a car‑finance rebate; I told him I don’t own a car and he hung up. He might be the same James who rang last week about home insulation – fed up with these annoying scams, I blocked the line.

Harassment Call
They call and never leave a voicemail; I reckon it’s time to ditch Virgin Landline.
Olivia from Alexander Mann Solutions introduced herself and offered a flexible remote role, asking me to text “Y” if interested – possibly a scam, especially given the grammatical slip.
447983125099
Silent Call
The line rang, but nobody answered.
Identified as PRA Group, a debt‑collection agency.
A voicemail said “bark 1929 is your identification code. It expires in 15 minutes. Do not share it with anyone.” Clearly a fraudulent attempt to pose as a bank.
A spam call centre based in China.

Scam
No clue who this is, cheers.
An alleged HR voicemail was left, which is clearly a scam.
This appears to be a fraudulent attempt masquerading as Biscuit Recruitment; the genuine firm exists, but since 2023 its name has been spoofed, with the caller typically asking about job interest via text or WhatsApp.
Looks like a recruitment pitch that's actually a scam.
A text arrived from this number saying “Hello, may I quickly talk with you”; no identification, looks like a scam range – reported and blocked.
