Silent Call
Knew it was a scam but decided I'd play along. Said "hello" heard a beep from their end and they hung up a few seconds after
Don’t know number answered to a man barely able to pronounce my name, hung up after he kept repeating my name
Said they were from clear credit said I haven't got credit so he hung up
Hung up no person spoke
Scam call. Some scouser called me and insulted me when I wouldn’t give him my identity. Despicable.
When I answered they asked for a name when I would t answer and instead asked where they were calling from they ignored me and continued to ask for the name. When I still didn’t answer he went on to say there’s a language barrier so he’ll say it slower etc trying to call me stupid and insult me even though we both have British accents? Ended up saying he’ll call back later though not sure how that would help a language barrier. Tried his best to sound intimidating by lowering his voice etc but ended up sounding like a kid doing a prank. Still could affect a vulnerable person.
