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.

Pretended to be NHS staff asking about my GP, then pivoted to life‑insurance questions – I hung up straight away, properly.

443330509298 Scam Scammer (scam)

Avoid sharing any codes; the caller pretended to be from a merged O2 and Virgin service, claiming 4G is obsolete and that a SIM swap required a code. He texted a request for the code, but sending it would expose your data. Never send a code to anyone.
