The number appears to be a UK geographic/landline style number, but there is no verifiable, reliable public information confirming ownership or a consistent risk profile for this exact prefix and sequence. Public sources show many UK number lookup services that aggregate user reports andOfcom data, but none provide a definitive, authoritative match for this exact number in a trustworthy context. Consequently, answerable guidance is limited. 1. Likely type: UK landline/geographic number; specific ownership not verifiably confirmed. 2. Online discussion: Numerous UK lookup services present user reports and “spam risk” indicators, but these are user generated or aggregate signals rather than a definitive declaration of proprietor. 3. Association with scams: Not reliably established for this exact number; available sources provide general scam/telemarketing risk frameworks but no conclusive link to this number. 4. Public exposure: Appears in public lookup databases and scam report aggregators to varying extents, but no clear evidence of a deliberate public leakage or breach tied to this exact line. 5. Advisability to answer: Proceed with caution; consider not answering or calling back, or verify with independently obtained official contact channels if contact is needed.

Repeated nuisance calls since I changed from BT

This number is BT retentions and they call you when you are leaving BT to try and retain your business.

I received a call from this number claiming to be from StepChange, supposedly partnering with BT. Suspicious of the legitimacy, I contacted BT directly, and they confirmed that they do not share customer information with StepChange. Turns out, it was a scam.

Since yesterday I had 5 missed calls from Stevenage. Not sure how he got my work number. No idea.

I received four calls in as many days from 01438382072. Luckily, BT has now blocked them as nuisance calls. I answered the first one, and the caller claimed to be from BT, though I knew right away they weren’t. I hung up immediately. It's definitely a scam.
