    Just thought I'd pass this one, it might affect someone on here.

    My wife had to go to France couple of weeks ago, came back last Sunday she now needs to quarantine at home for 10 days. So far so good.

    On the monday, first day back, she was called on our landline by the track and trace people.

    On the tuesday and wednesday she saw missed mobile calls with the caller id as the correct number for track and trace, very official sounding voice messages were left. She is adamant she had the phone handy all the time but it didn't ring.

    We decided these were probably spoofed calls but we weren't really sure and you can't contact track and trace to query them. So a slightly worrisome couple of days followed.

    Today track and trace called again on the landline and confirmed that they hadn't called and wouldn't have called the mobile anyway because what's the point.

    I'm normally quite good at spotting dodgy calls but these ones were very convincing.

    Beware...
