Block this number immediately if it rings unsolicited—it's a common tactic for fraudsters to spoof similar digits. Reports highlight persistent scams posing as housing disrepair services or will writing firms, often with aggressive tactics that hang up when challenged. These calls target vulnerable households, so never share personal details without verification. Report to Action Fraud to help track patterns, and consider registering with the Telephone Preference Service for fewer nuisance calls. Stay vigilant; if in doubt, hang up and contact official sources directly. Patterns suggest Indian-operated rings, but focus on protection over speculation.
Got two calls yesterday, differing only in the final two digits. Ignored them and no voicemail was left, so I've blocked it along with the rest.
Rang from 07488872744 and 07488872750, both fraud
Unwanted service for drafting wills. Quite rude behaviour.
Posing as a housing disrepair firm. FRAUDSTERS.
Fake Housing Disrepair squad - total scam!
Posed as council housing maintenance firm. When I noted it's a council site, they ended the call. Scam attempt.
Appreciate the heads-up. I missed the ring and no voicemail was left. Blocked it now. Though I believed I'd already blocked all such numbers.
Beware, it's a scam—block it and report to authorities, they're from India
Experienced two missed calls with varying final digits; after reviewing reports from others, I blocked each one.
