Re:Scammers are changing the contact details for banks on Go... by Symbiote on Sunday November 25, 2018 @04:41PM (#18529231)
The UK phone number plan allocates the prefix 09… (or +44 9…) to premium rate numbers[1]. A change to an 09 number should be a red flag for the edit — I'd expect very, very few businesses to use a premium rate number as their main contact number. In fact, it seems many categories of business are banned from using them [2].

Some other European countries have similar prefix-based number allocation systems.
