I missed the call since I couldn't get to my phone quick enough, so I decided to search the number here. From what I've read, it looks like a common energy scam, so I'm just gonna block and remove it.

Phone deal scams are on the rise. To help fight back, MAKE SURE YOU REPORT THESE FRAUDS. WARNING: Scammers often record your voice during calls and use voice cloning tricks along with their usual attempts to steal money from your accounts. Look up 'voice cloning scams' and 'yes scams' online for news articles and advice from the police about this risky new AI tech. They only need a few seconds of your voice to mimic it. So, when you pick up an unknown number, don’t say anything except a soft ‘hello’, then just listen carefully. After that, hang up and REPORT the incident. Also, delete any personal voicemail recordings, avoid calling back numbers you don’t recognise, and be careful about who can hear your voice clips on social media. This is serious stuff - voice cloning and saying ‘yes’ scams should not be taken lightly!

Report these scam calls to help put a stop to the scammers.

My BT phone showed this number as "? Nuisance" when it rang. Since I was expecting something dodgy, I answered but didn’t say a word. After about half a minute of silence, the caller hung up. I've now put the number on my block list so I won't get hassled by them again. Not sure what they were trying to sell or promote though.

Got another one trying to scam me, so I just blocked the number straight away.

The BT phone flagged the call as a nuisance, so I just let it ring out. Didn’t bother to pick up.

Got a call from a guy who said he was from my appliance insurance company, claiming he could lower my premiums. I asked him which appliance was covered and the brand and model, but he stumbled over his words for a bit and then just ended the call. Definitely sounds like a scam to me.

Lately, my iPhone has been checking who’s calling from unknown numbers before it lets the call through. Guess they didn’t like that and hung up straight away. I’ve gone ahead and blocked the number now.

Got a call earlier but they hung up straight away, so I’ve just gone ahead and blocked the number 🚫

It came up as a nuisance caller so I just ignored it.

Got a call from Belacom International Carrier Services SA, third time today so I just blocked it. Too many robocalls!

Got a call from Emma, who said she’s an energy advisor, about some government-backed loft insulation deal. When I asked which firm she represented, she replied ‘Green Energy Advice’ from London – not exactly around here then. They’ve rung me quite a few times now, always saying they’ll check the loft insulation installed under the government plan for free. My gut feeling is they’ll claim the job wasn’t done properly and then try to charge to fix it!

Anytime I pick up a call from an unknown number, I try not to say anything at all, cause what happens is they just cut off right away. Actually, I’d recommend the same for any calls from numbers you don’t know - don’t let them get your voice on the line, they might be trying to record it for voice ID or something dodgy like that.

I got a call from a Birmingham area code completely unexpectedly. Seemed dodgy, probably scammers. My advice? Don’t share any details with them, or even talk really, since it’s possible they could copy your voice. I’ve blocked and flagged the number as risky now.

Regarding the insulation, I was just wondering if you've seen any signs of damp around?

I picked up the phone but no one said a word before they just ended the call. Was hoping it was one of those lucky calls about some £750,000 prize from the radio, but guess I’ll keep waiting for that one!

Beware of scams! Never respond to calls, texts, or emails from numbers or addresses you don’t recognise. Don’t let anyone record your voice – look up ‘voice cloning scams’ to understand why. Always report scam attempts through official channels like the police or Ofcom. If you get a suspicious text or voicemail, forward the number and message to 7726, and follow any instructions to confirm. Also, use your phone’s spam report feature for calls and texts. And don’t forget to forward scam emails to '[email protected]' and report them using your email provider’s phishing tools (usually found in the menu with three dots). The more reports sent across different systems, the better the chances action will be taken. Look up 7726 and '[email protected]' online for plenty of advice. Stay safe!

Got a call from someone saying they were from Scottish Power, but the lady spoke with a strong Belfast accent. She even knew me as Mrs with my initial and last name, which was a bit odd. I just ended the call. Feels strange that Scottish Power would ring me from Northern Ireland, doesn’t it?

I’ve been getting quite a few calls recently and just left them unanswered. Definitely sounded like a scam, pretty irritating really.

The landline went off and I answered, expecting to hear someone talk. But there was silence. After a few seconds of waiting and hearing nothing, the call just cut off, so I ended it.

I saw the number but didn’t pick up cause I had no clue who it was, and I definitely didn’t bother returning the call.

My phone has this AI call screening feature, and as soon as I asked who was calling, they just cut off. Got calls from Sky recently, but I’ve never signed up with them, so I wouldn’t trust that number at all.

I keep getting calls from different numbers and they always say my name, email, and phone number. The voice on the call sounds either Indian or like some kind of AI. They mention a "first world lotto" or something like that. It’s really annoying how they keep bothering me over and over again.

They rang me up asking if my house had any issues like mould, so I just ended the call straight away.

I’ve been getting loads of calls from all sorts of numbers like 0735..., 0736..., or 0737..., always at weird times. They say they’re from my mobile provider but keep messing up the company name. They tell me my SIM card is about to be cancelled and want to send out a replacement or something like that. Feels like a total scam to me.
