Missed call on landline with no voicemail left. Number not recognised so it has been treated as unwanted contact.

reported 0161 526 6054 as Dangerous
Caller asked questions about home ownership and boiler details. The conversation was unclear and felt like an attempt to gather personal information.

reported 0161 526 6054 as Dangerous
Claimed to be from British Gas regarding boiler maintenance. This is a known scam tactic so I did not engage.

Caller claimed to be from Domestic and General and said their helpline number had changed. When asked for the updated number, they avoided giving a clear answer which made it seem suspicious.

Call centre background noise with discussion about boiler maintenance. Unclear legitimacy.

reported 0161 526 6054 as Neutral
Call went to voicemail with background noise but no message was left. No clear intent from caller so treated as neutral.

They claimed to be from Ovo which IS my energy company but they used a wrong name for me and there was so much noise in the background , I could hear them harrassing other people on their phones too

reported 0161 526 6054 as Harassing
They hung up immediately after I answered. No explanation given which makes it feel like a nuisance call.
