What kind of number is 0808 117 6008?
0808 117 6008 is a UK freephone number, and this number block was originally allocated by Ofcom to TAP GATEWAY LTD. 0800, 0808 and 0500 numbers are free for the caller and are widely used by customer-service lines, helplines and sales teams.
Because freephone calls cost you nothing, they are generally low-risk to answer — but the same caller-ID can be spoofed, so never share security details just because a call appears to come from a freephone number.
