Expert Opinion

A surge of reports flags the +44 20 4599 6873 line as a repeat offender targeting UK mobile users. Most callers masquerade as O2 or other network providers, delivering a brief pitch before hanging up or demanding a one‑time verification code. Scam callers often use a South‑Asian accent and claim discounts to entice a response. Practical steps include adding the number to your mobile’s block list, enabling carrier‑level spam filtering, and never sharing authentication codes with unknown callers. If you receive a suspicious call, end the conversation, report it to your actual provider and, where possible, lodge a complaint with the Information Commissioner’s Office.
