Not every call without a voicemail is a scam but this one definitely is, and you should report it. Just look up 'action fraud' and go to the official UK police website. From there, find the phishing report section, scroll right down to the bottom and fill in the details to make a complaint.

Got a call claiming it was some medical alert from Dorset - funny, I didn’t think Sheffield was part of that area! The person sounded like they were actually there, but it was some sort of voice-activated recording. I kept repeating the same question but the response never changed, pretty obvious it was a scam.

Got a call from someone claiming to be from Medical Alert, saying I might qualify for a free medical alert system. They called me vulnerable but had no clue about me. When I tried to cut in and ask who they were, the guy just kept talking over me, sticking to their script. Feels like a total scam - they just want some info to get their foot in the door, if you ask me.

I received a call recently from someone purporting to be from Infinity Energy, stating they needed to conduct a damp assessment on my outside wall. The thing is, they aren’t even my energy provider, so there’s no way they should have a contract to inspect anything on my property. Quite suspicious, if you ask me!

He identified himself as Alex and claimed he was seeking properties to include in a publication about solar panels, offering discounts in return. When I expressed my disinterest, he didn’t seem to want to hear it at all. He’s already rung me twice today! I can't help but suspect he's the same chap who goes by John from the Driveway Centre and won’t stop ringing us either.

During the initial conversation, they identified themselves as “Solar Centre.” However, when I challenged them in the follow-up call about their online presence, they suddenly switched to claiming to be Fortuna, hailing from Bournemouth. Quite the conundrum, considering they're ringing from Sheffield, of all places! What’s the deal?
