Answered the landline but there was no response at all. This has happened multiple times recently and is becoming very frustrating.

reported 0161 520 1940 as Harassing
Call ended as soon as the answering machine picked up. Typical nuisance behaviour seen with automated diallers.

reported 0161 520 1940 as Neutral
Missed call with no voicemail left. Nothing to indicate the caller identity.

AUTOMATED CALL ABOUT LOFT INSULATION CAUSING DAMP. CLEARLY A SCAM MESSAGE AND NOT A REAL PERSON.

reported 0161 520 1940 as Harassing
Answered the call but there was complete silence from the other end. After speaking and getting no response, it became obvious it was a nuisance type call.

reported 0161 520 1940 as Harassing
Claims to be an energy advisor and asks to speak to the homeowner. If challenged, they hang up which makes it feel like a scripted scam call.

reported 0161 520 1940 as Neutral
Missed call with no voicemail left. Many similar calls behave this way so it may be part of a pattern.

reported 0161 520 1940 as Dangerous
Claimed to be a local energy advisor but similar calls have come from different numbers. This inconsistency strongly suggests a coordinated scam effort.

reported 0161 520 1940 as Harassing
Unknown number repeatedly calling the landline with no message left. Continues despite being registered with TPS which is very frustrating.

reported 0161 520 1940 as Dangerous
Daily 0161 numbers. Never answer.
