AI Summary
Based on 2 community reports
Calls from this Shrewsbury number, 01743 817233, have been described as nuisance calls with phishing-like behavior. Two reports, both with zero upvotes and downvotes, suggest it rings and hangs up after you say who you are, a social engineering tactic common in scams. A separate note reports the line rings daily around 4:25pm before disconnecting. The carrier listed is Magrathea Telecommunications. With no upvotes, confidence is limited, but the repeated timing and the phishing description are red flags. If you answer and are asked for personal details, hang up immediately, don’t share information, and consider blocking the number or reporting it to your provider.

Safety score
2 reportsHow this score was worked out
Each report rates the number as safe, unknown, suspicious or spam. The score combines those ratings, giving more weight to clear scams, and each person counts once. A number only reaches high risk once several people have independently reported it. Scores of 70% and above count as high risk, 40% to 69% as medium, and below 40% as low; a low-risk number reads Maybe Safe once someone reports it as safe. More about spam scores
Why this number is rated Medium Risk
This number is rated Medium Risk because community reports are mixed: 2 of 2 describe spam or suspicious activity, while 0 describe a legitimate or unknown call.
