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.
Received an unsolicited call; no message was left.
Seems to be a dental‑related call, mate.
Received a call from Tails.Com, anyway – pure spam.
Random unsolicited call, no voicemail left, mate.
Führt eine Umfrage zu Krankenkassen durch (bei mir zumindest). Sehr unhöflich und wenig seriös.
Der Anrufer ließ nur zweimal läuten und legte dann wieder auf – ich habe nicht zurückgerufen, na gut.
Après avoir raccroché, la boîte vocale nous invite à rappeler un numéro commençant par 08…
Je n’ai rien trouvé du côté de ma banque, et d’autres sites indiquent que ce numéro ne correspond pas à la raison de l’appel que j’ai reçu, c’est étrange.
My mother has been receiving these calls for several days. She’s saved the last two numbers and will keep any new ones that show up, each coming from a different line. This is one of them. Every call follows the identical pattern: a UK mobile number, occurring around midday – roughly between 12 and 1 pm – and delivering the same likely‑Chinese message with identical tone, rhythm and wording.
Received a call from IPSOS, just saying.
A call about the TV licence.
Seems to be a legitimate DWP contact for June 2025.
This appears to be spam.
A fraudulent pitch about housing repairs.
Someone asked to add them on WhatsApp for a job, you know.
Call related to home‑maintenance services.
A cab office.
Pitch about solar panels and smart meters.
Seems fraudulent.
