Expert Opinion
Approach with caution: unsolicited calls from unknown numbers can pose serious risks, especially those silent or pushing financial claims. These reports highlight frequent hang-ups and scam-like pitches about old car finance, often flagged as dangerous or harassing. Block the number immediately to avoid nuisance. Verify any finance claims directly with your bank or provider—never share details over unsolicited calls. Enable call screening on your phone to filter out suspicious ones, and report persistent issues to Ofcom. Stay vigilant; scammers exploit trust in such ruses to extract personal info.
