Answered the call but the line went silent and then it cut off. Suspicious.

Had this woman phone me about 6 times in the last 5 months asking if I’m the home owner I tell her no all the time, last call she started to argue that I was the home owner so I put the phone down on her

Didn't get past TrueCall as they weren't able (or willing) to state who was calling, so the call wasn't put through. I only know that they attempted to call as it appears in my call log as a missed call. Therefore highly likely to be a scam as genuine callers are more than happy to announce themselves when challenged by TrueCall.

I received a call from "Jo from energy advice team". I rang her back to ask name of company and refused to give it. The second time I was blasted with a piercing noise and then she refused and hung up

“Jo from energy advice team” script repeated. Definitely dodgy.

Looking for a safer home phone?

Traditional landlines were never designed to stop scam callers. New digital landline services use advanced tools such as:

  • Automatic scam number blocking
  • Suspicious call alerts
  • Call recording for safety
  • Trusted person monitoring

Phonely's digital landline was built specifically to protect vulnerable people from nuisance and scam calls. See how Phonely protects your home phone or compare the best digital landline UK.
