Expert Opinion
Have you ever received a call promising free prizes that suddenly require a payment? This number appears linked to a common scam impersonating Facebook competitions, offering plants or gardening items in exchange for a £9.95 delivery fee. Callers often know basic details like your name and address to seem legitimate, but they push for quick payments without verifiable proof. Reports highlight aggressive tactics, including attempts to sign up for monthly subscriptions. Hang up immediately if you get such calls—legitimate prizes never demand upfront fees. Block the number, report to Action Fraud, and avoid sharing personal info. Verify any competition directly on official Facebook pages to stay safe.
