Was called by this number (April 2026) and an Asian sounding voice said he was calling from Huws Gray. Pretty much all Huws Gray staff are Welsh, but as the area code was right, I said call back in 5 minutes. He didn't, but I got a few more calls that I ignored. Phoned Huws Gray and they confirmed it wasn't them. Definitely a scammer......

Phonely's digital landline was built specifically to protect vulnerable people from nuisance and scam calls. See how Phonely protects your home phone or compare the best digital landline UK.
