Second call from this number. First time voicemail answered and they didn't leave a message. Today I answered and it was a female who introduced herself as Jane, energy advisor for my post code and asked if I was the home owner. I replied by asking her what post code she had. There was a long pause and then she said that she wasn't allowed to answer that question and she would pass it on to her supervisor. Then it dawned on me that I had been talking to a "bot" . Obviously not programmed for questions from the perceived " victim ". I am still waiting for her supervisor to call me !. Scam of some sort.

Scamming lady claiming to be a local energy adviser.
probably scam
Stay silent then cut off
Rang my landline. I was upstairs & missed call. No message left & mobile not called after (most people trying to reach me either leave a message or try my other phone when I don't answer the other). Clearly some kind of cold call.
No one on end of line
A long silence before operator spoke claiming to be from a government inspectorate needing to inspect my loft for correct insulation. When I said that I don't have a loft he hung up.
Call cut off after a short silence. Just another nuisance
No response when call answered - was just silent the other end.
