Expert Opinion

Silent voicemails and repeated silent calls from this number crop up frequently in reports, often paired with background noise hinting at busy call centres. Claimants pose as reps from Vodafone, O2, or Sky, pushing broadband fixes or account issues that don't add up—classic hallmarks of offshore scam operations. Hang-ups follow when challenged, and linked numbers like 01994692334 mirror the pattern. Block immediately and report to your provider or Action Fraud; don't engage or share details. Enabling call screening apps cuts down on these nuisances, while registering with the TPS helps filter legit telemarketers. Stay vigilant—most end in blocked lines, but persistence pays off for the scammers if you pick up.

442830739897 Scam

This morning around 10am on 27/03/2025, an unknown number called so I rejected it, but got a voicemail alert. Listening revealed only silence - blocked it. Later at 17:03, another from 01994692334, which I missed; again, silent voicemail, so blocked that too since both are listed as scams here.
