Search interest for "who called me uk" has grown sharply since 2019. The reasons aren't hard to understand. Phone-based fraud has exploded – HMRC impersonation scams, fake parcel delivery texts, bank fraud calls pretending to be from Barclays or HSBC, and aggressive PPI-type cold calling have all driven people to check unknown numbers before ringing back.
Action Fraud reported over 400,000 phone fraud cases in 2023 alone, and the average loss per victim keeps climbing. It's no wonder that millions of people in England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland now look up a number before they call it back.

If you've been asking yourself "who called me from this number?" the call was probably one of these. Each type is worth knowing about.
Callers pretend to be from your bank's fraud team, claiming your account has been compromised. They pressure you to transfer funds to a "safe account" – which they control. Your real bank will never ask you to move money this way.
A recorded or live voice claims you owe unpaid tax and a warrant is about to be issued. HMRC does not contact people this way. If you get this call, hang up and report the number immediately.
Usually starts as a text but follow-up calls are common. You're told a parcel is held and a small fee is needed. The link or number leads to card detail theft. Royal Mail does not charge delivery fees by phone.
Callers claim your router or computer has been hacked and offer to help remotely. They install software that gives them full access to your device and banking apps. Legitimate ISPs don't call about viruses unprompted.
High-pressure cold calls offering guaranteed returns on crypto or shares. These are almost always advance-fee fraud operations. The FCA warns these scams cost UK investors over £1.2 billion in recent years.
These numbers have been reported by real people across the UK in the past 48 hours.
