Ever wondered why a recorded voice is waking you up at dawn to warn about a power outage? Calls from +44 20 3282 0650 are most often linked to UK Power Networks, the regional electricity distributor that uses automated alerts for planned or unplanned cuts. If the message references your postcode and asks you to press 1 for details, treat it as a legitimate utility notice, but still verify the information on the official UK Power Networks website or through your energy provider’s portal. Avoid sharing personal data over the phone, and block the number if the call feels aggressive or unrelated to any outage you’ve experienced.
