OFCOM (drama use - reserved range) scam & spam call reports

Are all reported OFCOM (drama use - reserved range) numbers scams?

No. Two important things to keep in mind:

First, the “Range Holder” on a UK number is the provider Ofcom originally allocated the block to — not necessarily the network running the live call. UK numbers are portable, so a customer originally on OFCOM (drama use - reserved range) can have ported away years ago while keeping the same digits. Calls from numbers on this list might not actually be coming through OFCOM (drama use - reserved range)’s network today.

Second, a number on the leaderboard above is one that has been reported in the community. Reports are user-submitted and pass moderation (no defamatory accusations, no PII, no duplicates), but they are not the same as a confirmed fraud ruling. Some entries are genuine national contact-centres using OFCOM (drama use - reserved range)-allocated CLIs whose unfamiliar number surprised the recipient. Others are active scam campaigns spoofing or originating on OFCOM (drama use - reserved range) blocks.

Click any number above for the full per-number report: the Ofcom Range Holder confirmation, the area code (if geographic), the live AI internet check summarising public web reports, and the original community discussion. That combination of signals — not the rank on this leaderboard alone — is what should drive your decision about whether to call back.

No reports filed against OFCOM (drama use - reserved range) yet

Nobody has filed a community report on a OFCOM (drama use - reserved range)-allocated number so far. That is not a clean bill of health — it usually just means OFCOM (drama use - reserved range)’s blocks haven’t crossed a reporter’s path yet, or that calls from them are being recognised and answered normally. When the first report is approved it will appear here automatically, broken down by the community category it was filed under and measured against the ranges OFCOM (drama use - reserved range) owns.

In the meantime, the universal red flag on any UK call — whichever Range Holder the number sits in — is pressure to act now: a request to move money, install software, or read back a one-time passcode on a call you didn’t start.
