Expert Opinion
Proceed with caution: unsolicited calls from this number often mask fraudulent intent, preying on personal details for scams or harassment. Reports highlight aggressive tactics, from fake debt claims to utility surveys that feed data to fraudsters, with rude hang-ups or insults when challenged. Block the number immediately and report it to Ofcom or Action Fraud to curb these nuisances. Legitimate firms won't pressure for sensitive info over the phone—verify independently via official channels. Enable call screening on your device and register with the Telephone Preference Service for added protection. Stay vigilant to avoid identity theft pitfalls.
