AI Summary
Based on 4 community reports
Reports about this Shrewsbury number are mixed, but the general trend is suspicious. Several reports mention silent calls, or no response when the phone is answered - a tactic sometimes used for voice data mining. One report claims the caller pretended to be from O2 with incorrect contract information, suggesting a possible scam attempt. While there aren't many upvotes to confirm these experiences, the lack of information and repeated calls without messages are red flags. It may be best to block the number to avoid potential scams or further nuisance calls.
