Solved: Fake calls

Angela6 · ‎07-10-2021

I have received an overseas call twice, on different days saying something like my N/I number has been used unlawfully and I should press 1 to continue. Who do I report this to ? Is it 02 who I pay my bills to or British Telecom ? Somehow I cannot now see the number that called me on my mobile phone. I would appreciate any advise. Thank you Angela

Block the number if possible and ignore.
