Scam/Fraud
24 Nov 2021
This number is one of many used by UK Talks. The recorded answer, when called is in an American voice. The numbers from which they claim to call changes frequently, suggesting a fraud or scam. Their website does not include the numbers from which calls are purported to be made. Companies House (UK) website makes interesting reading and would seem to support the theory that this is best avoided. Some of their former numbers have been terminated because o the possibility that calls are being rerouted outside of the UK.

A recent number claiming to be from UK Talks. Their numbers, when called, often have a recorded message with an American voice! One of their former numbers 01212 840668. Their calling numbers frequently change and the firm has an interesting track record at Companies House. Definitely suspicious probably scam or fraud.
