Phishing Ploy on Your Line?
Summary — +441613889447
Expert Opinion
Silent rings from this number often signal scammers testing lines for active responses, especially targeting vulnerable folk like the elderly with deep or distinctive voices drawing hang-ups. Accents hinting at overseas call centres, poor English, and no replies scream phishing attempts, possibly peddling fake car finance deals laced with dodgy details. No legitimate outfit operates this way—it's all about reeling in personal info for fraud. Block it pronto on your phone, register with the Telephone Preference Service to cut unsolicited calls, and never share details if they ring back. Report to Action Fraud if anything feels off; staying vigilant nips these nuisances in the bud.

I chose not to answer and blocked the number.
After answering, there was no response; following a few attempts I hung up.
