I answered because the London area code suggested a cold call, stayed silent waiting for identification, only to endure over a minute of nothing before hanging up. Likely a phishing test to see if the number is active.

Ý kiến chuyên gia
Ever picked up to dead air on a call from a London number? That's often a telltale sign of scammers probing if your line's active. These silent hang-ups and dodgy claims about network issues from supposed Virgin or O2 reps scream phishing attempts, fishing for live numbers to target later. Don't engage—hang up straight away and never share details. Block the number on your phone, and report it to Ofcom or Action Fraud to help curb these nuisances. If it's a cold call masquerading as legit support, remember: genuine firms won't cold-call unprompted about 'coverage complaints'. Stay vigilant to keep your info safe.
