Reports consistently flag this number as a source of unsolicited calls, often with no voicemail left and patterns suggesting automated or repetitive harassment. One account mentions a caller posing as SSE, but the interaction involved scripted responses and a 'can you hear me' prompt, typical of scam bots aiming to capture voice confirmations. Multiple similar numbers sharing the 074888 prefix reinforce a nuisance pattern. Block the number immediately on your phone and register with the Telephone Preference Service to cut down on such intrusions. If any personal details were shared, monitor accounts closely and report to Action Fraud for potential data misuse.
I ignored the ring because the number was unfamiliar and no voicemail followed, so I assumed it wasn't urgent. Looks like many others have searched the number – probably just a nuisance.
There was no message left.
I was also contacted, no name given, so I ignored it and blocked the number; they kept calling with the same six digits 074888.
They introduced themselves as SSE; when I asked about payment options for a 12‑year‑old, they had no answer – just automated bot replies, even a “can you hear me” prompt.
