They didn’t leave a message and I’ve got no idea who the number belongs to.

I didn’t pick up since the number wasn’t saved and my phone flagged it as “possible scam, linked to identity theft.” They never rang again or dropped a voicemail. Apparently, these identity theft calls try to catch your voice to feed AI tools and then hack into stuff like your banking. Best not to just say “yes” or “no” if something feels off. Be careful. If you’re worried, there’s loads of info online about dodging these calls or handling them safely next time.

I'm familiar with this number and the con that comes with it! Take a look at those two posts underneath, they break down what this scam's about and show you how to report every single one of these dodgy calls to the proper authorities like the police and OfCom. These systems were put in place by the previous government to track and handle these frauds. If folks don’t report these scams, they just keep flying under the radar and no action gets taken.

I just ignored the call since the number was unfamiliar, and they didn’t bother to leave a voicemail. It’s clearly a scam, and I’m fed up with these non-stop calls on my landline. Honestly, it’s ridiculous that Ofcom either can't or won't do anything to tackle this problem. I’m seriously thinking of getting rid of my landline altogether.

BE CAREFUL!! Loads of scam calls these days are recorded and the fraudsters use AI to copy your voice. So PLEASE DON’T EVER SAY YES or say more than a few words when you pick up. You can find useful info and police warnings if you search for 'voice cloning scams' and 'saying yes scams' online. Make sure you tell your friends and family too. Also, always report any dodgy calls to the police and OfCom - they’ve got systems running thanks to the previous government to track and tackle these crimes. It genuinely makes a difference when you report them!

Someone called me recently, saying they were Jane, trying to pitch solar panels, but it was pretty obvious it was some kind of AI. The voice was unnaturally clear and whenever I replied, there were these awkward pauses like it was generating an answer. It reminded me of another call I got just a few days earlier from another number - same kind of synthetic tone but a different name this time. Honestly felt like the same fake robot on the line.

Got a call from some scammer who left a voicemail warning me about fake charges that supposedly needed sorting.

Definitely one of those dodgy calls... They never bother leaving a message on the answerphone. I'm absolutely fed up with these annoying rings.

Got a call from some energy company, sounded all robotic. First, there was nothing but silence, then a recorded message kicked in. Definitely felt like a scam to me.

So irritating, they just stayed quiet and didn't say a word.

Got a call from BT but never picked up, and they didn’t leave any voicemail either. Wondering if it’s some sort of nuisance call?
