Illegal call to TPS listed number by David from UK Windows and Doors. Definitely a bot with a script. Listens for replies, so some kind of AI behind it.

Looking for a safer home phone?

Traditional landlines were never designed to stop scam callers. New digital landline services use advanced tools such as:

  • Automatic scam number blocking
  • Suspicious call alerts
  • Call recording for safety
  • Trusted person monitoring

Phonely's digital landline was built specifically to protect vulnerable people from nuisance and scam calls. See how Phonely protects your home phone or compare the best digital landline UK.
