Expert Opinion

Across the Scottish borders, missed calls from unfamiliar numbers often spark caution among residents wary of persistent nuisances. These reports highlight queries about diesel exhaust emissions, even from non-diesel owners, suggesting scripted pitches rather than genuine service. The personal touch of knowing names adds to the unease, but it's a common tactic in unwanted solicitations. Scam alerts like this mimic legitimate formats, such as NHS lines, to build false trust. To stay safe, verify callers independently via official channels and use call-blocking apps or do-not-disturb settings for known contacts. Reporting to Ofcom helps curb such harassment—better to err on caution with unknowns.

I saw a missed call from a number resembling an NHS Scotland line, but it wasn’t official. Similar calls have turned out to be scams, so I’ve grouped trusted contacts and set my phone to Do Not Disturb, allowing only known numbers to ring.

Someone knew my name and claimed the call was about a diesel omission on a car. Since I've never owned a diesel, I hung up.
