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.

I receive frequent calls from this number, with no messages left. Does anyone know why?
A call was missed.
While waiting for a service call, I missed a call from this number, assuming it was the service department. When I called back, an automated message announced “your number has been recorded” before the line disconnected.
It has rung several times over the past month, yet no one ever answered on the other side.
They keep calling; seems like a scam.

Looks like a scam.
An incoming call arrived silently, with no audio.
This was a fraudulent call.
Vorbește în glumă și rostește lucruri fără sens la telefon; oricine vrea să sune pentru a se amuza este binevenit, mai ales cu număr ascuns.
They say it’s from Enel, yeah.
Pre‑registered message, you liar! Cheers.
