Expert Opinion
Ever wondered why unsolicited calls from unfamiliar numbers keep popping up? These reports point to persistent attempts at energy surveys and estate planning pitches, often laced with dodgy claims about government rules. With poor English and no voicemail left, it's a classic red flag for scams or aggressive telemarketing. Block the number straight away and register with the Telephone Preference Service to cut down on such nuisances. If they've got your details, monitor accounts closely—report to Action Fraud if it feels off. Staying vigilant means fewer headaches from these pests.
