What kind of number is 01874 615697?
01874 61 XXXX is a number block in Brecon, in the historic county of Powys, Wales, an area with a population of approximately 8,250. Standard landlines in this area use the format 01874 611234, with the first part being the dialling code and the rest being the local number.
This block — 01874 61 XXXX — was allocated by Ofcom to BT in 1994. BT either operates the numbers directly or sub-allocates them to resellers and downstream carriers, which is why a single 01874 61 XXXX prefix can be used by many different organisations. You can verify any allocation against Ofcom's National Telephone Numbering Plan, which is updated weekly.
Is it safe to answer or call back 01874 615697?
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 01874 615697 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 01874 615697 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.

About 01874 numbers
The HMRC-impersonation scam continues to be the most-reported telephone scam in the UK, and blocks like 01874 61 XXXX are sometimes spoofed for these calls. HMRC will never threaten arrest, demand payment by gift card or cryptocurrency, or use a 'press 1 to speak to an officer' menu. If in doubt, hang up and contact HMRC on the number printed on their gov.uk page.
