A concise, fact based report could not be completed with high confidence from the available sources. The number appears in UK lookup services and scam report aggregators, but no definitive, reliable attribution to a specific person or organization could be confirmed here. 1. The number appears to be a UK geographic/landline format likely located in the 01621 area, but attribution to a specific entity is not reliably verifiable from public sources. 2. Public notes on this exact number are sparse; UK reverse lookup sites and moderation enabled forums show general guidance about similar numbers, not a confirmed owner. 3. Some UK spam/vishing report platforms flag unknown numbers as potentially risky; no conclusive scam association for this exact digits sequence found. 4. The number is present in public facing UK lookup databases, but there is no clear evidence of exposure in breached datasets or widespread leakage beyond standard directory type listings. 5. Given uncertainty and potential for spoofing, answering or calling back is not advisable without independent verification from a trusted source.

Name came up as 'Daniel Hanlon', utility scam. Told him our contract was renewed to a 1 year fixed contract at the end of August (it wasn't, it was a different date & duration), he then said 'Yeah, I can see your current contract is set to be renewed on the 30th August 2026 but there's a price increase set for the end of this month so it's in your interest to renew with us now instead'. Don't bother giving any genuine information.
