This number is associated with quite a few others (0113 518 5281, 0113 521 0286, 0113 733 5266). Man keeps calling and asking for Alan. On the occasion when this number was used, there was an automated message at the beginning of the call stating that the call was being recorded. I am assuming that this is the same group who sent me a WhatsApp message from another number a while ago addressed to Alan which was followed by a message that stated it could not be downloaded from server. Frustratingly you cannot block them as them as they constantly keep ringing from different numbers.
