It only rings briefly to make you call back, typical scam tactic. Recognised these types before. Got them blocked now.

They only ring once and hang up, it's getting really annoying.

they just gave one ring and then disconnected. my phone’s full of numbers from these “cold callers” now, and the list keeps getting longer.
11 years
Just like loads of others have said - they called once and then just dropped the call! I've put the number straight on my blocked list. Honestly, some folks really don’t have anything else to keep them busy!

Just ignore it, best not to engage.

They just rang once and hung up - total scammers, don’t bother returning the call it’s a rip off.

0843 879 9144 - rang twice then just cut off like loads of others have said. Best to block it if it pops up, definitely dodgy!
11 years
Totally scammers, be careful. Never bother answering or calling back weird numbers you dont recognise. Make sure you report all weird silent or dropped calls to the regulator, Ofcom.

Got the same thing, phone just rang twice and then cut off. They want you to ring them back on some expensive number. This is the second time today I've had a call from an 0843 number. Total scam!

dodgy lot, best to ignore and never ring them back, you’ll pay for it otherwise!

Got a missed call from this number: 0843 879 9144. Whatever you do, dont call them back, it’ll cost ya. Best just to block and ignore these bloody scammers!
11 years
So I rang the number back and their voicemail was all in Swahili. They sounded really dodgy and it felt like they were up to no good, probably trying to con people out of cash. Honestly, this should be flagged to Interpol for sure...

Got a missed call from this number on my phone earlier. As others have mentioned, if it was really something urgent, they’d have left a voicemail. Don’t call them back no matter how tempted you are, you’ll just end up paying through the nose for a premium service. I really can’t stand these scammers - seriously, what’s the point?
11 years
They called me once but I missed it. Feels like a trick to get you to call back and rack up big phone bills. Best not to pick up or call them back. If it’s important, they’ll just leave a voicemail.
11 years
The phone barely had time to ring before they hung up.
11 years
0843 879 9144 Seriously, just ignore and never ring back. These are scams from Asia and if you answer from your mobile it’ll cost you about 50p a minute or even more! Plus, if you pick up, they might pass your number on to even more scammers. Stay safe!
Asia

Got a missed call on my phone and rang it back thinking it might be my internet provider since they’ve been ringing from loads of different numbers lately. But as soon as I heard some woman speaking in a language I couldn’t understand, I quickly hung up and wiped the number. Going to keep an eye out for that one from now on.
11 years
They called, but it was only for a split second before they just cut off.
11 years
Called once then hung up, then about half an hour later I got a call from a claims number 0113 830 0947. Sounds like my number’s been sold again, just like others have mentioned. Such muppets.
11 years
Honestly, what use is Ofcom if they can't put a stop to this? Even if the calls come from abroad, the 0843 prefix is definitely one assigned here in the UK. It's like these dodgy characters are just renting the number to pester people. Makes you wonder what Ofcom is doing about it.
OfcomUK
11 years
Honestly, I just avoid picking up any 0843 numbers, easy as that! If they don’t leave a voicemail, it’s hardly urgent, right? Loads of people fall for these calls but I’m not daft enough to ring back.

Got a call from them, but they just hung up straight away. Looks like these firms just want to verify if your number is working so they can pass it on to telemarketers. It’s so annoying, especially since I’m already registered to block these spammy businesses! They seriously should be banned.
11 years
No reply, likely just junk.

had the same thing happen to me, the phone rang just one time and then they cut off. pretty sure it’s some kind of scam.
11 years
Only called once. Definitely a scammer.

Like a lot of others have said, it never actually rang for me but there was a missed call showing up on my phone. I've went ahead and blocked the number so it won't bother me again.
11 years
The phone just rang once real quick and cut off almost straight away! Classic sign of one of those annoying auto-dialling spam companies.
11 years
My phone showed a quick ring and then the call dropped almost straight away! Classic spam auto-caller again. Caller ID was just 'Unknown'.
11 years
Called once and then just ended the call.
11 years
Got a call that barely rang (maybe just once) and they didnt bother calling again. Just so you know, calling 0843 numbers from a landline can set you back anywhere between 7p and 19p a minute, and if you're on a big mobile network it could be like 25p to over 50p a minute.
11 years
Called just once.
11 years
I saw a missed call on my phone but I wasn’t even near it at the time. My missus is poorly and has carers coming in, so I called back hoping it might’ve been one of them stuck in traffic or something. Instead, I got this weird message in what sounded like Hindi or some language I didn’t understand!

This number keeps ringing me but then just cuts off straight away.

Just one ring and there's no way I'm picking up.

Got a missed call on my phone and I thought I'd call back without checking the number first. A lady with an Asian accent spoke for about 4 or 5 seconds then the call dropped. Only later did I realise it was a premium number! Fingers crossed I’m not hit with a huge bill!!

I just noticed a missed call from this number. When I called back, a woman answered speaking in some Asian language I couldn't follow. It seemed like she was reciting something rather than having a natural chat. Honestly, it felt a lot like one of those scam callback calls to me.
