Expert Opinion

Like a persistent doorbell that never stops ringing, these automated debt‑scam calls can wear anyone down. Most callers use a pre‑recorded script that mentions large debts and a bogus government grant, hoping to lure you into pressing a key or sharing personal details. The safest move is to let the call go to voicemail, never press any numbers, and block the number straight away. Register the caller on the TPS list, use your handset’s built‑in call‑blocking features, and consider a third‑party app for extra protection. If you suspect fraud, report it to Action Fraud and your mobile provider – early action can stop the nuisance before it spreads.
