    it's got nothing to do with cloning phones.

    Basically they know the block of numbers that are used in the uk.

    So one guy keeps ringing this block of numbers until they get an answer and then try and talk the person into giving them info.

    If they've cloned your phone, that means they'll send one that's identical to the one you're using.

    Probably.
