Approach with caution: these calls from unknown sources often mask fraudulent intent, especially when impersonating authorities. Reports indicate persistent attempts to probe personal details like housing status, likely from overseas operations disguising themselves as local councils. Hang up immediately and never share information—block the number straight away to prevent repeats. If details like your address surface, report to Action Fraud for investigation. Keep your number private by limiting online exposure; consider registering with the Telephone Preference Service to cut unsolicited calls. Stay vigilant, as these tactics prey on trust in official bodies.
