Cold call at 13:30hrs on Monday 11 October. My phone alerted me that it was a suspected SPAM call, so I didn't answer. Absolutely fed-up with these cold-calls. The government should do more to regulate this fraudulent behaviour / telecommunications harassment.

Silent caller. Blocked. Don't answer it
Picked up call asked for me by name , asked for info to call back but hung up. American type accent.
Silent call, no message left. Blocked
Saw a missed call from this number on my phone. Did not recognise the number and they did not leave a voicemail. When searched the number this is the info that came up so have now blocked the number.
If I don't recognise the number I don't answer and then I do a Google search, think this is the best way, if it is genuine I can always ring them back.
Asked for me by name then hung up
Said they were debt collection , if I didn’t send a lump sum or set up a payment plan they we’re gonna send bailiffs to my house because I wasn’t paying my loan repayments to my bank I called my bank and they confirmed they have received all of my payments and are definitely not sending my account to debt collection It’s a SCAM
Nobody was speaking.
Silent caller!!!
