If don't recognise a number from your contact list
I would say it's probably a spam call checking the 5 digit number you posted most are

There is website
Who called me
Which you can check calls
And numbers

All UK mobile numbers are 11 digits long. I reckon its safe to block these, as they are spoofed.

NEVER, EVER attempt to call them back, because even if they do connect, it can cost you a potential fortune.

I ignore all calls that are from numbers not in my contacts I figure if is a genuine call ( and important) then the caller will leave a voicemail message

Yes i have used that website myself before it's pretty good! Thanks for your reply. The reason i asked my question is I have many spam calls which i don't answer report and block but they're all 11 digit numbers but wasn't sure nor ever have i come across a 10 digit number. Thank-you very much for your help 😊

@julesmorg666: For added visibility I recommend heading to the Phone app > Tap the 3 dots in the top right > Settings > Caller ID and Spam Protection > On, as this will show the details of callers who aren't on your contact list. You can also enable the 'Block Spam and Scam Calls' option, depending on your current Android version, for some peace of mind. I hope this helps.
