A contributor who tried calling back 02 8456 4365 received no answer, which is common when numbers are used for outbound scam or spam campaigns rather than genuine customer service.

• Do: Let calls go to voicemail, block the number immediately after any suspicious interaction, and verify any business claims directly with the official company using contact details from their website
