Expert Opinion
Reports consistently flag calls from this number as fraudulent schemes masquerading as lottery wins. Scammers pose as UK National Lottery officials, promising free tickets or prizes in exchange for sensitive details like addresses, dates of birth, and mother's maiden names. This is a classic tactic to steal identities or funds. Hang up immediately if you receive such a call—never share personal information. Block the number and report it to Action Fraud to help curb these nuisances. Remember, legitimate lotteries won't cold-call for verification; they notify winners through official channels. Stay vigilant to protect your data.
