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.

Ein Anruf kam aus Spanien, aber der Anrufer war unbekannt, mate.
I've been receiving repeated calls from this UK number on my German mobile. I have no contacts in the UK with my number, so it appears to be a scam.
According to the caller, they supposedly entered a contest two months ago, with a €89 monthly charge. The deal was never finalised. When asked for the exact date, the conversation was cut short and the lady said she would get back.
