At 1355hrs Tues' 12/8/25, a call from 0161-524-1056 to my home landline, which is ex-Directory. I did not answer, as the number not recognised. I called the number back using a 'number withheld' mobile 'phone - after approx' one second, and with no 'number ringing' tone in my ear, I heard a 'beep beep', and the handset display showed the words 'call ended'. Just to confirm, i repeated the process - same result on three occasions. CLEARLY IT WAS NOT A GENUINE CALL, FROM A GENUINE LANDLINE IN MANCHESTER - MARK AS DANGEROUS.
