Silent hang-ups often signal probing attempts to confirm active numbers for later scams. One report flags this as an 'energy adviser' phishing ploy, where fraudsters pose as helpful consultants to extract personal details. The lack of messages on call blockers suggests they're testing responses rather than engaging directly. Block the number immediately and enable screening features on your phone to filter unknowns. If they persist, log details with Action Fraud for patterns. Stay vigilant—such calls rarely lead to genuine offers, but ignoring them starves the scammers of data.
Received a ring on my landline at 4 pm; my call blocker answered and asked them to leave a message, but none was left – classic, cheers.
The line went silent, then they disconnected and I blocked the number.
Beware of an "energy adviser" phishing attempt. Stay safe.
