Scam caller, suspect from indian call center, when I started to question the caller they dropped the line.

User reported 01228 248 653 as Dangerous

Long conversation attempt about insulation eligibility and property details. They kept pushing for answers and would not clearly explain who they were, which made it feel like a scam trying to gather information rather than provide any real service.

Automated AI voice that talked over the answer machine message. Only the end of the message was recorded. A human wouldn’t do that.

Called me but left no message. Only scammer bots do that as it is waiting for a human voice to answer then it records it as a valid phone number, but knows AI answering machines.

User reported 01228 248 653 as Harassing

As usual when an unknown number calls the landline, I paused for a few seconds, then simply said 'Hello'. The line went quiet, then dead. I checked this number from my mobile phone. and a recorded American female voice said 'Energy Department'. The mobile phone labelled the number as 'Spam'.
