What should I do after a suspicious call from a 070 number?

070 personal-numbering calls can cost more than calls to ordinary mobile numbers; check your tariff.

Steps after an unexpected call
Step	Action
1	Do not call back a number you cannot identify. If it rang once and cut off, that is often a test that your line is live.
2	If the caller said they were your bank, a company or the police, hang up and phone the organisation on a number you find yourself, or call 159 for your bank.
3	Forward suspicious text messages to 7726, free of charge.
4	If you lost money or shared details, contact your bank at once and report to Action Fraud (England, Wales and Northern Ireland) or Police Scotland.
5	For unwanted marketing calls, report to the ICO and block the number on your phone.
6	Calls to 01 and 02 numbers are charged at your provider’s standard landline rate (gov.uk/call-charges).
7	070 personal-numbering calls can cost more than calls to ordinary mobile numbers; check your tariff.
