AI Overview



+2
The 22201 number is commonly associated with scam text messages, often appearing as a fake alert indicating a missed call or new voicemail, particularly targeting EE users in the UK. It mimics legitimate voicemail notifications, using various similar numbers (22202, 22203) to trick recipients into calling a potentially premium rate number.
Key Information About 22201 Messages:
Context: These messages often state a voicemail was left and prompt you to call back.
Risk: They are considered fraudulent/scam messages, sometimes appearing as a "quick link" in a fake text.
Legitimate Alternative: The genuine EE voicemail service is accessed by calling 222 or pressing 1.
Action: If you receive a message from 22201, do not call the number back and delete the message.

Hi @vintage_radio.

The AI overview will pick up from multiple sources, which may not be 100% accurate. For example, if someone has posted that it was a scam message, the AI may pick this up.

22201 is a genuine number as part of the EE voicemail, but you can also just dial 222 to get access to any messages.

Just on the Google search result point, I've got numerous screenshotted examples of the so-called "AI" search results being plain wrong.

My personal favourite was that the British Grand Prix was being held at Silverstone in Malaysia, on the weekend of the Chinese Grand Prix.

More recently, it claimed that Premier Sports were simulcasting all the England Rugby games that are shown exclusively by ITV.

They are some great ones @bristolian. I always take everything it says with a pinch of salt, before scrolling down to read the genuine links below.

AI has its benefits but certainly isn't ready to take over yet.
