It’s the first time I’ve seen a number with five eights, though I frequently get 074888 followed by varying digits, suggesting the same source. If the number isn’t on my approved list and I receive no text, I won’t answer – my number is still classified from my military days.

Avis d’expert
Late afternoon in the Midlands, persistent calls like these often signal trouble, especially with that suspicious string of eights in the number. Reports highlight unsolicited pitches on housing repairs claims, which sound dodgy—particularly if the caller ignores your responses or pushes on regardless. It feels scripted or automated, a classic scam tactic to hook the unwary. Multiple rings in quick succession scream harassment, and no reply to texts just amps up the red flags. Best move: never engage, hang up sharpish, and block immediately. Report to your network provider or Action Fraud to curb these nuisances. Stay vigilant; genuine services don't badger like this.

Ignored the call; it didn’t reply to my SMS asking who it was. The 5x8 or 88 888 pattern raised red flags for a commercial scam, cheers.
Three calls were placed within two and a half hours.
A caller claimed to be from some housing department. I told them I don’t have a housing association; they kept on about repair claims, sounded pre‑recorded or clueless. Likely a scam – I’ve always rented privately or owned, so I hung up and blocked, mate.
