"Can you hear me?" - seems to be a robocaller. I said nothing and the call disconnected after 20 seconds. Blocked.

reported 01253 226 784 as Dangerous
I silent answered, they remained silent then disconnected after about 20 seconds, typical scammer behaviour so I assume they are a scammer.

reported 01253 226 784 as Dangerous
Asking me if I can heat him ok. Deliberate attempt to record me saying "yes", presumably so they can use this for fraud/scam. Who are they?

reported 01253 226 784 as Dangerous
Either a 'live' or recorded female voice saying "Hello can your hear me ok?". Classic scammer intro hoping to record you saying "Yes". Have reported number to ICO

reported 01253 226 784 as Dangerous
