Scam Phone Call

[sherrardk]

Just got a call to my mobile with a local area code. I did answer it but couldn't here the caller. I googled the number and it came up as attached to PPI outfit based in York. How come it the call had a Hereford code but came up on google as York, is it part if the scam somehow (to make you think it is someone local).

I had one last week but it came up with a Cardiff number but a friend from Cardiff did some research and it originated in Belfast :/ I never answer anything from a number I don't know

I just thought it was odd that it came up as a local dialing code, but when I googled the number it said it was from York.
