Calls probing for personal details, especially around old car finance deals, often turn out to be dodgy attempts to hook you into scam schemes. Folks reporting these from this number mention hang-ups when recording starts or dodgy redirects to energy firms—classic red flags for harassment. Best move: never share info, hang up quick, and block the number straight away. If it's claiming mis-sold finance, verify with your bank directly instead. Register with the Telephone Preference Service to cut down on nuisance calls, and consider apps like Truecaller for screening. Stay sharp to avoid identity theft pitfalls.
I received a call about 2007 car finance and told the caller I have no idea where they got my details – it’s rubbish – then hung up.
Around 6 pm I answered, said hello and began recording. Once they realized the call was being taped they muted and hung up. When I redialed, it turned out to be an energy department that had called me earlier from another number, despite me saying I wasn’t interested.
Another bothersome call.
A ring landed on my landline at 6:21 pm but didn’t get past Call Guardian – thank goodness.
They attempted to gather information, but I declined.
