Block unsolicited calls from unknown numbers straight away to avoid wasting time. These reports highlight persistent silent calls and energy-related pitches, often with no one speaking or pushing dubious services like solar energy or loft insulation checks. Hang up immediately if you answer and hear nothing, or let it go to voicemail—legit callers will leave a message. Report to your phone provider and the Information Commissioner's Office for harassment. Watch out for scam tactics that prey on energy efficiency claims; never share personal details. Keeping a call log helps spot patterns and strengthens complaints.
I didn't recognise the caller, so I let the ansaphone take it; only a long silence followed – definatly odd.
Another energy‑advisor scam, similar to yesterday's call from a number ending in 016.
Quiet call, no message left – blocked.
Attempted scam involving a solar‑energy block and a report request.
A loft‑insulation scam, claiming our property is listed with outdated insulation and offering an inspection.
Another sales pitch for solar energy.
When I picked up, there was nobody on the line; the call stayed connected until a 'caller has cleared the line' tone played.
