Energy-rebate and 'green grant' scams have been linked to UK landline blocks like 01937 316 XXX.

Real government rebates apply to your bill automatically — no outbound call is needed.
If a 01937 316 XXX number called you and you're not sure who it was, the safest steps are: don't return the call until you've verified it (search the full number online first), don't share personal or financial details, and register the number with the Telephone Preference Service (TPS) if it's a marketing call.
