Persistent calls without voicemail often signal unwanted contact, leaving recipients wary and frustrated. In this case, repeated attempts followed by silence or mismatched responses point to automated systems probing for live answers. One instance involved a bot-like query about car finance directed at the wrong person, highlighting potential data inaccuracies or intrusive marketing tactics. Block the number immediately to halt further disturbances, and consider registering with the Telephone Preference Service for broader protection. If details like personal info are shared, monitor accounts closely and report to authorities if suspicious. Staying vigilant prevents escalation into more serious issues.
When I picked up, only silence lingered for several seconds before the line dropped.
After five calls over two days with no voicemail left, I’ve decided to block this number, as the comments suggest.
The person asked for 'Gavin' – that isn’t me! It sounded like a bot; when I queried their identity, the reply was unrelated. Once they realised I wasn’t Gavin, they probed about car finance. I asked them to delete my number, got no response, so I ended the call and blocked the number.
