AI Summary
Based on 2 community reports
This Manchester number has received a small number of community reports, both flagging it as suspicious. The reports are notably concerning in that they appear to be targeting or worrying elderly and vulnerable individuals — one coming from an 81-year-old care home resident and another from a worried family member whose elderly father has received repeated calls over several weeks. Neither report has votes attached, so it's difficult to judge confidence levels, but the pattern of repeated calls to older people is a common trait of nuisance or scam callers. With a spam score of 62/100, some caution is warranted. If you or a vulnerable relative receives calls from this number, consider blocking it and reporting it to Action Fraud if any suspicious requests are made.
