The caller introduced himself as Matthew, but it was a pre‑recorded script pretending to be genuine; it kept talking, even apologising and prompting me to continue, until I called out that it wasn’t real.

Expert Opinion
Calls from unknown numbers like these often turn out to be scams, especially when no message is left and the voice sounds robotic. Reports highlight pre-recorded messages pretending to be personal chats, such as one claiming to be Matthew, which persist even when challenged. This matches a heating scam pattern, where fraudsters push fake services for home improvements. To stay safe, always block the number immediately and never share personal details. Report to Action Fraud if pressured, and consider registering with the Telephone Preference Service to cut unwanted calls. These tactics are cycling back, so vigilance pays off.
