Answered the call but there was complete silence on the line. No response at all, which is frustrating and feels like an automated nuisance call.

Answered and said hello but got no reply at all. Feels like another typical scam call so blocked immediately.

Called while I was out, left no message. Thought it was the usual scam, number blocked.

Caller tried to promote solar panel services without any prior contact. It was clearly unsolicited and had all the signs of a typical cold call scam.

Reported as a scam caller. Did not answer due to suspicion.

General experience suggests calls from this range are often scams. This one also appears suspicious.

Phone rang but I did not answer and no voicemail was left. Another unwanted call from a number I do not recognise.

I ignored the call and later noticed a very short silent voicemail had been left. There was no speech at all, just a brief recording of background noise. Looks like one of those automated calls trying to see if the number is active.

reported 0161 768 2899 as Harassing
Call came through with no voice and left an empty voicemail message which is typical behaviour from automated diallers.

Another cold call, possibly scam.
