During a quiet afternoon in the office, reports of unsolicited calls from this number emerge as a common nuisance. These persistent rings often signal energy scams, where callers pose as officials to extract personal details or payments. Experiences shared highlight silent hang-ups or automated voices, typical tactics to evade detection. To safeguard privacy, enable call screening on your device and register with the Telephone Preference Service if not already done. Never return calls to unknowns, and report suspicious activity to Action Fraud. Blocking remains the swiftest defence, preventing further intrusions into your day.
A cold call came from this number but was cut off as soon as I answered; I didn't return the call because, although it appeared UK, it masked its true origin.
The call went straight to voicemail thanks to TPS, but when I dialled back the number, an American automated greeting from the energy department answered; I hung up and blocked it.
This is an energy scam – avoid answering, block the number, and delete it.
Marked as spam by my carrier; when I answered there was no reply, so I hung up and blocked it.
