Got a call from a woman who started by checking if I could hear her alright, then straight away she launched into a chat about solar panels. I just hung up.

Picked up the call and the person on the other end asked if I could hear them clearly. I told them I'd turn my radio off and then they just vanished. The call stayed connected for a bit, but eventually I ended it. Bit worried if they're trying to get my voice somehow with AI or something. Hope that's not the case.

Got a call from a number I didn't recognise, looked it up here and decided to block it straight away!

Picked up the phone and this recorded voice goes, 'Can you hear me alright?' Heard before that you're not meant to say anything since they want you to say 'yes' on tape, so I just kept quiet. There was no reaction at all, no hang-up, just dead silence.

Got a call from some bloke, sounded like it was live, talking about loft insulation. He kept asking if I owned the house. I told him it’s a private number and he went silent for a bit like a bot or something. Then he started jabbering like we’d spoken before, which was odd. I ended the call - pretty weird behaviour. Tried to check the number with 1471 but then my phone cut out completely. Had to restart my fibre optic router before the line came back. Bit sus if you ask me.

Got a call and it was one of those automated voices checking if you can hear them. I just replied "what do you want?" then there was nothing on the end so I hung up straight away.

Answered the call but nobody was on the other end.

Got a call where the person asked if I could hear them, but then nothing was said after. Seems like it might be a dodgy scam call.

Got a call where no one said a word. I just ended it straight away. I'll keep an eye out for more spam calls now.
