Received a suspicious call where an automated voice mentioned a job agency, asking me to add them on WhatsApp for more information before abruptly ending the call, despite not being job hunting.
Fake reference scam alert! - +44 7442 826866 (07442 826866)
概要 — +447442826866
専門家の見解
Like a chameleon shifting hues to blend in, this caller adapts pretexts to hook the unwary, from job agency pitches to bogus references or gas engineer queries. Comments reveal a pattern of unsolicited outreach, often automated or probing personal details under false pretences, cutting off abruptly or contradicting themselves when challenged. It's a classic nuisance tactic, blending harassment with potential scams to waste time or extract info. Block the number immediately via your phone settings or carrier app to stop further rings. Never share details like references or job status—hang up and report to Action Fraud if it feels off. For peace of mind, register with the Telephone Preference Service to cut down on such calls overall.

As I type this, this number is calling me, so I believe it’s best not to answer, especially after seeing the other comments here. Better to avoid!
I ignored the call and rang back on another phone. The caller claimed to be contacting me about a gas safe engineer, but I knew it was a scam.
