If a 0800 number called you
Reports here are mostly about bank impersonation, so treat unexpected calls as possible scams.

Bank calls: use 159
Hang up and dial 159 from a phone the caller hasn't just used. It connects you to most UK banks' real fraud lines. Your bank will never ask you to move money to a 'safe account'.
- 2
Forward it to 7726
On a mobile, copy the caller's number from your recent calls and text it to 7726 (it spells SPAM). Scam texts can be forwarded to 7726 as they are. It's free, and your network uses the reports to investigate and block numbers.
- 3
If you lost money or shared details
Call your bank on the number on your card (or 159 to reach most UK banks safely), then report it to Report Fraud online or on 0300 123 2040. Report Fraud replaced Action Fraud on 4 December 2025 for England, Wales and Northern Ireland; in Scotland call Police Scotland on 101.
