Ever wondered why unsolicited calls from unknown numbers leave you feeling uneasy? These reports paint a clear picture of fraudulent activity masquerading as legitimate telecom outreach. Callers impersonate providers like EE, O2, Sky, and Tesco Mobile, pushing discounts, upgrades, or service checks to extract personal details—classic scam tactics. Short hang-ups and aggressive persistence, often from noisy foreign call centres, scream harassment. Block the number immediately, report to Ofcom or Action Fraud, and never share info; verify directly with your provider via official channels. Stay vigilant—your caution keeps scammers at bay.
Calls pop up every day from a new number each time, you know. As soon as I block one, they switch to another! They'll never get through because I ignore the call‑minder. I'm on the TPS list, so I know these are dodgy calls. Anyone here track these sites and take action? cheers
