Claimed to be from Amazon checking a new large charge against Visa, wanted to send me a verification code to connect me to Amazon to verify they were genuine.

What kind of number is 07901 585 843?
079 015 XXXXX is a UK mobile number block. UK mobiles use prefixes 071–075 and 077–079, with 076 reserved for radiopagers and 070 for personal-numbering services. A number such as 0790151234 could be active on any of the four UK mobile networks — EE, O2, Vodafone or Three — or any of the dozens of MVNOs (mobile virtual network operators) that lease capacity from them, including Tesco Mobile, Sky Mobile, giffgaff, Smarty, Lebara and Voxi.
This block — 079 015 XXXXX — was allocated by Ofcom to Vodafone in 1998. Vodafone either operates the numbers directly or sub-allocates them to resellers and downstream carriers, which is why a single 079 015 XXXXX 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 07901 585 843?
Keep in mind that a phone number is a clue, not proof of identity. UK caller IDs can be forged (spoofed) by VoIP systems anywhere in the world, and legitimate numbers are sometimes hijacked for short scam campaigns then abandoned. Judge each call on its substance: a genuine organisation will happily let you hang up and call back via the number on its official website.
What to do if 07901 585 843 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 079 numbers
Some 079 015 XXXXX calls are silent — your phone rings, you answer, and nobody is there. These are usually 'predictive dialler' calls made by call-centres that dialled more numbers than they have agents available to handle. Ofcom rules require any unanswered abandoned call to play a short identifying message; if it doesn't, you can report the caller to Ofcom.
