Phone rang once with a quick blip then nothing at all. Whole thing felt wrong, like they were just testing numbers. Nothing said, just empty noise.

They said something about my SIM card but the line was full of car horns and strange background noise. I told them they weren’t who they claimed to be and they instantly hung up.

Seems to be a newly active calling number that blasts through lists for data checks. If you ever get one from them best to ignore or just block. They don’t mean well.

Didn't recognise the number so didn't answer. Suspect this is a scam just like the other comments are suggesting.

I received call from this number today. I did not answer call.

new active number mass calling compromised or random numbers for data extraction. if you receive a call from this number, turn on airplane mode so your number is saved as "inactive" on any malicious database repositories

reported 01697 528 358 as Dangerous
They called and cut the line after 14 seconds. In that time they didn't say anything. Potentially they were trying to extract my voice to generate AI scams.
