Watch out for

Freephone numbers are easy to spoof on caller ID. A genuine 0800 number calling you is not proof the caller is genuine.

The range holder isn’t necessarily the caller. Ofcom gives numbers to providers in blocks, and people and businesses can take their number with them when they switch. To find out who actually called, check the full number.
