Reports on phone number 0198
2 yearsThis number seems a bit dodgy to me. My advice is just don't pick up or reply. Just leave it ringing and hang up once it stops itself. That way, they won’t be able to tell if your number’s real or not. You could try blocking the number, or better yet, delete it. Even better, try getting the free app called "Do I Need To Answer" - it shows you who’s calling so you can decide whether to answer or ignore. Hope this is useful.
