An automated voice pretended to be BT, offering an SMS with options to press 1 for the message or 2 for help. Pressing 1 did nothing, the prompt repeated, and the call dropped after a second press. I’ll block it since the caller ID doesn’t show BT.

専門家の見解
In the midst of a quiet afternoon in the UK, reports like this one raise alarms about sneaky automated calls mimicking trusted providers. This sounds like a classic scam attempt, where the automated voice pretends to be from BT to lure you into pressing buttons, potentially leading to charges or data theft. Nothing happening when you pressed 1, then the line dropping, is a red flag—legitimate companies don't play these games. Block the number immediately and report it to Action Fraud or your phone provider to help curb these nuisances. Stay vigilant: never share personal info or press options on unsolicited calls; hang up and verify directly with the company using a known number. If in doubt, tools like Who Called Me can spot fakes early.
