A phone call kicking off with an automated voice often raises red flags, especially if it feels off from the start. These setups are common in scam attempts where fraudsters try to hook you with urgent messages about accounts or prizes. Hang up straight away without engaging—never share personal details or press buttons as prompted. Block the number on your phone to stop repeats, and report it to your network provider or Action Fraud for wider alerts. Staying cautious with unknowns keeps you safe; if in doubt, ring official sources directly using numbers from trusted documents, not the caller's info.
When the call came through, an automated voice greeted me, which immediately raised my suspicions.
