Clearly, these calls are unsolicited funeral‑plan pitches that many recipients find harassing. The callers often claim to represent a company called One Life and appear to use personal details to add credibility. If you receive such a call, politely end the conversation and do not share any personal or financial information. Register the number with your phone provider’s block list and report the incident to Action Fraud. Keep a record of the call time, number and any script details – this helps authorities track patterns. Regularly reviewing your call‑screening settings can also reduce future disturbances.

Annoying call
Leaving me alone would be appresheated, this is just annoying
Unfamiliar with the number, I decided to disregard it, assuming it was a scam, and blocked it after seeing others' reviews here
The call was not answered as the number was unfamiliar
The calls from this number are persistent but go unanswered.
Ignoring calls from unfamiliar numbers, such as this one, is often the best approach, as scammers will eventually move on to other targets, and it would be beneficial to have a system in place to report and track these incidents
During the conversation, a woman claimed to represent One Life, discussing funeral plans, but her unprofessional approach raised suspicions, prompting me to terminate the call
Beware of scammers, report all incidents to the Action Fraud database via police.uk
This is a scam number, and there is a post below explaining how to report it, and it's essential to be aware that scammers use a vast array of fake and spoofed numbers, making blocking ineffective, and we need to urge our phone industry to adopt technology like caller ID authentication, which is being implemented in the USA, to prevent these scams, and contacting our MPs to demand action is a crucial step in this process
The two posts below explain how to combat these scams and why blocking might not suffice. Reporting requires minimal effort, akin to posting here, and the police's fraud database doesn't need personal details. Immediate action isn't guaranteed, but without reports, the scale of this crime remains unknown, hindering resource allocation. Expect an (err) 'interesting' response from your MP, but collective action is essential to halt these calls and texts.
