Many report calls ending abruptly when answered or when an answerphone activates, sometimes accompanied by strange beeping sounds. Victims have lost substantial sums, and the scam has gained national media attention.

For some reason, this call slipped right past my spam blocker.

Got a call that was completely silent and it just hung up after a few seconds cause I didn’t pick up. Kinda strange, was hoping they’d ring me again to figure out what it was about.

Oh, it was that James fellow ringing again, this time about some insulation stuff. I'm starting to wonder if he's some kind of robot or something. I picked up but didn’t say a word, just let the radio noise play out behind me. Then he goes, "Hello, are you there?" and just abruptly ended the call. Bit odd, if you ask me.

Got a call that was completely silent and hung up after about 10 seconds. When I noticed there was no one speaking, I held the phone up to my mobile where I was listening to cricket commentary. Hopefully, that messed with whoever was on the line and wasted some of their time.

Totally a scam, ended up with the call dropping right after I tried leaving an answerphone message.

Got a call from some nuisance, didn’t bother picking up.

I picked up and all I could hear was a quiet beep before it just hung up on me. Seems like one of those robotic scam things to me.

After seeing the couple of comments here, I didn’t bother leaving a voice message. I've gone ahead and blocked the number and I’d recommend everyone else does too.

Got a call from some bloke about loft insulation. The voice seemed proper genuine, but I reckon it's just some AI trying to scam you.

Got a call with no noise at all, then as soon as my voicemail picked up, they hung up straight away and I heard some weird beeping sounds afterwards.

Got a call today about loft insulation, seemed fishy. Definitely a scam, so I blocked the number straight away.
