07515789158

I just had a weird call from this number as soon as I answered it – the line went dead. I dialled it back as I assumed it was a work call but the phone line was dead. I had a look at 07515 numbers and they seem to be O2.

The 07515 prefix doesn’t appear to be a premium number but has been associated with HMRC scam calls. Just wondered if anybody had any insight as to this one. I have blocked it anyway in my Samsung android phone.

Hi @Pete2000,

Welcome to the Community!

It may be a number spoofing scam.

You can find further information at the link below, however I would advise that you block the number as businesses wouldn’t use mobile numbers to make calls.
