The pattern points to a classic financial scam run from a UK number. Callers often know your first name, mention “financial planning” or a fictitious adviser called Charlie, and then disappear after a brief, polite greeting. They target numbers across the globe – from the Netherlands to the UAE – to harvest personal details and sell bogus investment opportunities. If you receive such a call, let it go to voicemail, never confirm any personal information, and block the number straight away. Report the incident to your local consumer protection agency and, where possible, flag the number with your mobile provider to protect others.
