Block unknown numbers immediately to avoid unwanted intrusions. These calls from the London area often use automated voices mimicking assistants like Alexa, probing for personal details under pretexts such as debt collection or life insurance sales. Reports highlight persistent harassment, silent voicemails, and no legitimate messages left, marking them as nuisance tactics. Never share information if pressed with phrases like 'how may I help you'—it's a red flag for scams. Register with the Telephone Preference Service to reduce such calls, and report to Action Fraud if details are sought. Staying vigilant protects against identity theft risks.
Calls come in daily; despite blocking the number they still manage to drop a silent voicemail.
An automated voice, similar to Alexa, kept pestering me for personal details; I transferred the call to a colleague and they were met with a generic “how may I help you”, which I refused to answer.
It showed up as a reported scam from a debt‑collection area in the north‑west, and the same number tried to sell me life insurance yesterday.
Calling from the London area! No identification provided with the number! Therefore, I do not answer! If it were important, they would leave a message, but they never do, so I've blocked it! A nuisance!
