Answered call and after a few seconds someone spoke saying they were called David from public health saying I needed a covid vacation, as soon as asked why they hung up, number now blocked and reported
Called me 4 times today, yet I've tried to call back but there clearly not accepting incoming calls. Sounds like a scam call, number now blocked.
Answered on mute, heard nothing from the other end, it hung up after 1 second. Called back 3x more times. Wouldn't recommend answering.
Three calls from this number today. No idea who they are or what they want as i didn't answer and they didn't leave a message, but it's starting to feel like spam callers, so i came on here and see that it basically is. They're getting blocked from me.
