Many have identified the calls as scams, involving fake offers for grants, repairs, or fraud checks.

24 daysThis is totally a scam, probably some AI thing. Don’t bother talking to them, they’re not real people.25 daysThis number said it was my energy company, and i could hear a lot of noise like a call centre behind their voice. The person sounded like they were just reading off a sheet, and the awkward silences between what they said and me replying felt very much like it wasnt even a human talking. Just had to look up the number here, and surprise surprise, its another bloody scam!1 monthEveryday I get calls from loads of different numbers, but it’s always the same weird robotic voice with some fake call centre sounds in the backround. First there’s dead silence then the strangest AI tone starts up. Totally a scam.1 monthThey keep ringing me all day, every day, saying they're from some kind of utility lookup firm. It's getting annoying now. If this doesn't stop soon, I'm thinking about taking it up with an ombudsman.1 monthI got a call from 01615201652 yesterday and it was pretty much silent - just faint noises of a busy call centre in the background. Same thing happened again today, almost like they were testing to see if anyone would answer.2 monthsGot a call from some automated voice, lots of telemarketer noise in the back, pretending to be from the energy supplier. They kept pestering me, so I just had to end the call... Now the number is definitely blocked.2 monthsGot a call from someone saying they’re from my utility provider wanting to chat about my contract. When I asked if I was talking to a bot, it straight up admitted it was AI. Pretty strange!4 monthsSomeone rang me saying it was from Watt UK, but it was so obviously a bot pretending to be a person.WattUK3 yearsPicked up the phone and no one spoke.

Seemed a bit fishy and like a scam to me. Watch out if you get a similar call!5 yearsThis number has been buzzing me nonstop, so I finally picked up today. When I questioned who they were, the guy said something about being a credit and fraud firm! I just told him "Good luck with that" and said I’d be reporting them for cold calling rubbish like that. Right after, he just cut the call. Total muppet behaviour.5 yearsGot a call from this number but no one spoke, just silence.

Someone must be handing them out!5 yearsLisa Degisi Murray is always up to this kind of scam.
