Have you received a suspicious phone call?

Phone scammers will call you unsolicited, pretending to be from an organisation you trust, such as your bank or the police.

These scam calls may be automated, or from a real person. They may ask you for your personal information like banking details, or tell you you need to transfer money.

If you’ve lost money or have been hacked as a result of responding to a call, you should report it:

• In England, Wales or Northern Ireland, report it to Action Fraud or by calling 0300 123 2040.
• In Scotland, report to Police Scotland by calling 101.

If you have not lost any money or responded to the call, you should report report scam call numbers free of charge to 7726. Your provider can find our where the call came from and block or ban the number.  

To report a scam call, simply text 7726 with the word ‘Call’ followed by the scam caller’s number.
