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.
Looks like spam.
Unsolicited call.
When I picked up, only silence lingered for several seconds before the line dropped.
After five calls over two days with no voicemail left, I’ve decided to block this number, as the comments suggest.
Received a crypto‑related message that included a spammy link – clearly a scam.
Unknown number not in my contacts – I blocked it.
I was also among nine recipients of that group text. I reported and blocked it; the link appears to be a phishing attempt. Sent the report to 7726 to protect others.
The caller was harassing and wouldn't let me speak.
Message claims to be from a leading advisor.
Answered the call, heard a posh voice ask if I could hear them, then hung up without a follow‑up.
Reference to War Child UK.
Even after blocking the number, calls keep coming through – this feels like harassment and would be illegal if I were the one doing it.
There was no conversation, just shouting and foreign background noises before the call ended.
Proper rude and downright dangerous, mate—what a mess.
The line kept redialing without pause.
A pre‑recorded message pretending to be from Visa and Mastercard played before the call was terminated.
Sounds like blockchain nonsense, yeah.
After repeated greetings I gave a final chance, said goodbye, and the caller finally responded – far too slow.
Upon returning the call, an automated voice kept repeating, "Oh hi there Mitch, can you hear me okay?"
