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.

Påstår sig vara leverantör av mitt telefonabonnemang, men så är det inte.
Jag svarar aldrig på okända nummer. Om jag väntar samtal från myndighet eller liknande lägger jag alltid numret i min kontaktlista, så jag kan se vem som ringer.
User describes it as bothersome
A real nuisance indeed.
Release of equity
User suggests proceeding with caution.
The call was automated; it was dropped after there was no voice response, and the returned call showed an unknown number.

User reports: Good
Calls are made daily, but I refuse to answer and no voicemail is ever left.
