Welcome to UKNumberInfo, a website for sharing and finding out information on telephone numbers in the UK. The purpose of this site is to help you to find out who it was that called you, and to enable you to help other people to do the same. It is not a reverse telephone directory, but aims to give people more information on unwanted telephone calls.
To get started, please enter the number you are interested in, into the following search box, and click 'search'.
When you answer your phone and if it's a number you don't recognise, DON'T SPEAK JUST LISTEN! Wait for the caller to speak first and then decide whether to simply put the phone down. If it's a recorded message, it'll nearly always be a scam or a computer dialling a batch of numbers in sequence and trying to ascertain if the number they have just dialled is a voice line, i.e. a private phone number. If the system recognises a voice line then that number will be added to a list for their agent to call you back. NEVER EVER give any personal information. If they say it's important, then tell them to write to you, but don't offer your address. They will almost certainly start fishing for further information and may ask things like, "Are you Mr/Mrs ......?" Don't give any information! "Do you live at...?" Again don't give any information! You can ask who they are if you wish and why they are calling you? Don't worry about being impolite, you can just put the phone down at any time, don't even say goodbye. If you're game, try and waste as much of their time as possible. A good ruse my neighbour often uses is to pretend you're nuts or have dementia , i.e. reply to their questions with things like "I don't know, my neighbour is leaving soon for today's moon flight and I have to take his sandwiches." or another is, "My nurse is arriving soon, I'll put her on the phone when she arrives, just hang on please." Then leave the phone off the hook. It's absolutely guaranteed that any responses like this will drive your caller crazy as it's becoming clear to them that they will be unlikely to ever scam you and usually don't phone again. These parasites are trying to make so many calls an hour, so the more of their time you can waste the better for everyone. Wasting their precious time is a really great way to get some payback for all these nuisance calls, and believe me it really does (excuse my French) piss them off! It's worth making a list of all unknown numbers that call you, it's the area code being used that's particularly important, for example "01252" of say 01252765511 is the area code for Aldershot. The scammers will often use different numbers but the area code will 'usually, but not always' remain the same. Finally, if ever they pretend to be from your bank - never give any information. Use your neighbours phone not your own to call the bank and never call any numbers the caller might have given you. It's always best in these circumstances to go into your bank and speak to someone. I hope this helps.

Loan Scam I had a call from a man on this number offering me a loan. I was desperate for one, so went along with the requirements. After givIng him my bank details, he said that as a way to validate my id, his firm would transfer a sum of money into it and then get me to forward it on somewhere. The money duly arrived upon which I was told to send it onto someone in India via MG or WU. I was soon after requested to perform a similar transfer, this time to a person in Thailand. On this occasion the transaction was declined by my bank as they were informed in time that the relevant payment into my account was obtained fraudulently. I then realised I was being used as a 'money mole/middle man' to get this "lender's" ill-gotten gains out of the country. My bank account details were being given by them to people who were told that their money was for 'processing fees' to obtain a loan. Fortunately for me, these scumbags didn't get anything from me, but I hope that the person per my first transfer has been refunded by now.

This number left a 7 minute voicemail which sounded like lots of people talking in a call centre. Out of curiosity I listened to the whole message to see if I could work out what is was about and was astounded to hear the caller talk about how many more months he had left in prison and his crimes to a nearby person. No idea what's going on here but it's added to my block list
