Is it safe to answer or call back 01522 254239?
One important caveat applies to every UK number, including this one: caller-ID spoofing means the number you see is not guaranteed to be the line actually calling. If a call from 01522 254239 claims to be your bank, HMRC or a delivery company and asks you to act urgently, hang up and contact the organisation directly using a number you've verified yourself — for banks you can simply dial 159.
What to do if 01522 254239 called you
- Don't act on the call alone. If the caller claimed to be your bank, HMRC, a courier or a utility, hang up and contact the organisation on a number you find yourself — never one the caller gives you. For banks, dial 159.
- Never share security details. Full passwords, PINs and one-time passcodes are never requested by legitimate UK organisations on an outbound call.
- Don't return a missed call you don't recognise. One-ring 'wangiri' scams rely on call-backs, sometimes routed to premium-rate lines.
- Report what happened. Use the report form above to warn other UK users, and report fraud attempts to Action Fraud (or 101 in Scotland).
- If money or details were given, contact your bank immediately on 159 and report to Action Fraud.
