2 yearsI picked up and stayed on the line for over a minute but there wasnt a single word said on the other end. Weird thing is, nobody ever spoke when I answered.2 yearsGot a call on our office phone, and the bloke immediately asked what type of business we run. I told him I wasn’t comfortable sharing that without him saying who he was first. He kept pushing, so I turned it back on him. After a bit, he said he was ringing from Housing Repairs and wanted to know if we had any property repairs needed. I said no thanks, then he asked again what business we’re in. Told him no repairs for us and ended the call. Could tell it was a call centre with all that background noise and talking going on.Housing Repairs2 yearsI rang my work Teams but no answer, so I tried again.
