Expert Opinion
Automated greetings followed by eerie silence often signal dodgy tactics to hook you into responding. Callers who ring repeatedly but bail when an answerphone kicks in, or hang up without a word, scream nuisance or worse. No legitimate outfit wastes time like that; they'd leave a clear message if it mattered. Treat these as spam or potential scams—don't pick up, don't ring back, as that could rack up charges or confirm your number's active. Block the lot via your phone settings or report to Ofcom for a proper crackdown. Saves hassle and keeps the pests at bay.

Harassment Call
Seems like a nuisance call – I answered with a greeting only to be met by silence before they hung up. Really annoying; they'd be better off finding proper employment 😡.
Calls keep coming from this unsaved number without any message. It rang twice today; I haven’t answered because it’s likely a scam – if it were important they'd have left a message. Don’t call back; they’re probably trying to make money.
