Never pick up unsolicited calls from unknown numbers—let them go to voicemail to gauge intent without risk. Reports overwhelmingly flag this as a scam attempt, often involving silent hangs or phishing lures like fake discounts on bills. Block the number immediately via your phone settings or carrier app to prevent repeats. If tempted to call back, resist; scammers use premium lines to rack up charges. Report to Action Fraud for tracking, and enable spam filters on your device for future protection. Stay vigilant—legit firms don't cold-call with urgent deals.
The call was silent, and since the number isn't in my contacts, I suspect it might be a phishing attempt or scam. I'm not calling it back!
The call turned out to be a phishing attempt; trying to call back was impossible.
I was called about building work and to confirm a quotation.
Fraud.
Just received a call that my phone flagged as a suspected scam.
Someone called claiming they could cut my mobile bill by 40 % if I received a post‑sent offer, then hung up – clearly a scam.
It appeared on my device as a potential fraud alert.
Unrecognised number – I did not answer.
The caller was obviously a scammer.
