Expert Opinion
Ignore these persistent calls – they’re almost certainly a scam. Callers pretending to be journalists from the Wall Street Journal, Daily Mail or Forbes will often ask for a manager or personal financial details, using a heavy Indian accent and vague survey pretexts. Block the number on your handset and consider adding it to a national do‑not‑call registry. Report any suspicious activity to your telecom provider and, where appropriate, to the Information Commissioner’s Office. If you do answer, request a written confirmation of the caller’s identity before sharing any information. Stay sceptical and protect your data.

A woman claiming to be from Microsoft called, saying hello multiple times before hanging up; not a number to recommend after multiple calls in two weeks
He responded, but I didn't grasp much of what he said, so I stuck to speaking Norwegian; when he asked if I could speak English, I pretended not to understand and simply said 'Norwegian', at which point he hung up, hopefully deterring him from calling again

Although their intentions may seem unclear, it's possible they're focused on high-volume sales; even if only a fraction of calls are successful, it can be profitable for them, so it's best to block the number

Londen Journal
On 09-09-16 at 14:14, a lady with a english accent and alot of backround nois called me, somthing about Londen Journal
From Norway, I stumbled upon this thread while searching for this phone number online. Initially, I received a call from an English-speaking man with an Indian accent claiming to be from the Wall Street Journal, asking questions about life insurance and financial matters. After a few weeks of silence, I was contacted again by someone with a British accent, this time claiming to be calling from Tokyo, albeit from a hidden number. They discussed an investment fund that had supposedly helped clients double their income. I repeatedly expressed disinterest, which eventually led to the caller hanging up with a dismissive comment. This entire experience screams scam.
Directly hung up after the caller asked for a non-existent name, thanks for the prior warning about this number.
Fortunately, I missed the call, which can be a blessing in disguise! It seems I dodged a nuisance, anyway!
It is recommended to block this number

They also called me, knew my name, and then hung up, which seemed strange
I didn't answer the call
The call center employees, who wear excessively tight headsets due to the chaos, can be deterred by using a siren or loud noises, which would make them hesitant to call back for fear of damaging their hearing
