Claimed they was from Scottish power, was pushy and quick, wanting details, tried getting me to swap my electric service provider over to them, without as much of a how are you today? Very fast pitch, no time to barely respond. Was politely told no thanks, And he went away sounding deflated.

This number has been constantly calling me for few weeks. I do not like answering calls to unfamiliar numbers, and no voicemail has been left. Probably it is ether a scam or spam. Therefore, I have now blocked the number.

This number has been constantly calling me for weeks. I usually wait for a voicemail (because i hate answering calls to numbers i don’t recognise) but no voicemail has been left. i’ve tried ringing back but it always says to try again later. If it’s official, they would’ve left a voicemail or something so i’ve now blocked the number

They tried to call twice within a hour. Didn't answer as working. No VM message left. Possibly scam but not sure!

They call for like a split second, but quite frequently, like even if you wanted to respond you can't, one second its there, the next you have a missed call. So odd.

They keep calling multiple times a week, never leaving a voicemail. It's getting annoying now. Probably spam.
