Purported to be Jane, local energy adviser.

Seemed a bot call? Kept asking if I could hear her. Then said it was regarding electricity supply. Put the phone down

reported 0131 381 8849 as Dangerous
Female voice repeatedly asking "can you hear me". Appears designed to trick people into replying yes for scam purposes.

reported 0131 381 8849 as Dangerous
Caller only asked "can you hear me" on both occasions and nothing else. Very suspicious behaviour.

reported 0131 381 8849 as Dangerous
Partial message left on answerphone about a survey relating to electricity prices and home ownership. Sounded highly suspicious and rushed.

reported 0131 381 8849 as Harassing
Did not respond because the number was unfamiliar and appeared to be a scam call.

reported 0131 381 8849 as Dangerous
Missed the call while away from home. After checking reports online the number was blocked and reported as suspicious.

reported 0131 381 8849 as Dangerous
Also, had a call 30mins ago from this number (illegally calling my TPS-registered) to my ex-directory landline number. I didn't answer it, as I did not recognise the number and now seem to be getting a call every day from many-different scam numbers even though I rarely provide my landline number to anyone. So it seems they are automated-dialling random numbers, not checking if they are TPS-registered, and therefore a scam company.

reported 0131 381 8849 as Dangerous
Caller opened with "can you hear me" which appeared to be an attempt to capture voice responses for fraudulent purposes.

reported 0131 381 8849 as Dangerous
Autodialler with prompted messages, calling into a Public sector worker's desk number, goes on to ask if they are the homeowner for a solar survey.

reported 0131 381 8849 as Harassing
Energy survey , would not end the call even when I said I was not interested carried on . I hung up on the end.

reported 0131 381 8849 as Dangerous
As others have mentioned, this sounded like an AI voice bot attempting to collect voice responses. The opening question was designed to make people say yes. Very concerning and deceptive behaviour.

reported 0131 381 8849 as Dangerous
TOTALLY DISTURBING AI STYLE CALL. After checking reports online it appears the system may be trying to record and clone people's voices. Very unsettling and should be avoided completely.

reported 0131 381 8849 as Dangerous
Unknown female voice asking if I could hear her. I told her to go away and ended the call because it sounded suspicious.

reported 0131 381 8849 as Dangerous
Another unknown caller with no voicemail left. Presumed scam based on previous reports connected with this number.
