I suspected a scam as I dont know anyone in Cambeltown, Scotlad so I answered but said nothing. No one spoke and then the call was ended.

Was not at home when called. Left no message. On basis of other respondents here I assume a scam call. Will block it

Asked how I was - always suspect. Then mentioned landline to digital. Quite simple - I just told him not to bother us in future. Scam call - an absolute load of rubbish

Silent call, automatically rang off. (I remember the good old days, when the best result was to answer a call with your name, not to waste time.) Now it is : Hullo, can you hear me?

reported 01586 556 705 as Harassing
Caller didn’t sound local, said it was about my home phone then hung up quickly when I asked questions.

Scam call, caller didnt say anything and hung up fast, probably automated scam system.
