Caller rang and claimed he was from EE then when I didn’t believe him he said my name and said I was the account holder I then proceeded to put the phone on mute to see what he would do he then asked if I could hear him a few times then took his headset off and sat waiting for me to end the call we were sat in silence for around 2 minutes before I ended.
Same as below, high pitch noise and rang off
landlline. call was disconnected
Rang for three rings at 2am and then hung up. On TPS, this mimics a local number. Don't understand the point in it, unless pinging random numbers to see if it connects for later scam.
Unsure who it was as did not answer - called at 02:05
3 calls early morning no sound or hung up. engaged if you call back. Reported to Stevenage Police as well.
Received call at 15:00hrs yesterday. Picked up receiver and no response.Have tried ringing back but number is permanently engaged. I am also on the TPS
Phone rang at 5am for five to six rings but then ended. No message left and as I didn't recognise the number I didn't call back but did a number search much later in the morning, hence this report.
Rings at different times thru the day and night . On answering it is a Squeal sound
I got this call at 4.36 AM
