Calls that vanish into thin air often signal something dodgy lurking behind the dial. These persistent rings from an unknown Manchester line, hanging up on answerphones or leaving silence, scream scam tactics designed to hook the curious. Reports pile up of unsolicited energy pitches, like loft insulation or green schemes, where smooth talkers claim you've opted in—pure fiction to push fraudulent deals. Block the lot, especially patterns from 0161 prefixes, and register with the Telephone Preference Service to cut the noise. If they persist, log details with Action Fraud; staying vigilant nips these nuisances in the bud without wasting breath on silent lines.
Unfamiliar number. Multiple attempts over a few days. It always cuts off during the automated greeting and no voicemail is left. Signs point to a scam.
Appears to be a Manchester-originated number I neither knew nor anticipated, but since I ignored it, I'm unsure of its legitimacy
Phoned from here but ended when voicemail started. Suspect it's a scam.
Received 6 calls today from 0161 area codes. Likely all the same fraudsters since I ignored them. When I do answer, a convincing voice claims I requested info on eco-friendly energy... which I never did!
Persistent harassment.
Standard fraud involving loft insulation.
Yet another green energy con using a faked number. Getting about ten weekly, all spoofed. Blocked all incoming starting 01612* now.
Unwanted call. Left no voicemail. Time-wasters.
The phone buzzed, but silence greeted me upon picking up. What a bother.
