This number telephoned me for the second time this week and this time I answered. They said they were a financial company and had a new product to offer me. An AI produced voice. I put the phone down as I felt this could be a very dangerous company to get involved with.

Sounded like a robot and kept trying to get me to say “yes”, probably one of those AI voice scams I read about. Weird and creepy.

Didn’t answer, but others report energy switching scams.

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.
