Deadly silence for 5 seconds on answering then a voice said "hello" and I hung up. Definitely an auto dialler, which usually indicates a scam. The STD code is for Orkney, so certainly a spoof number, ie not the real number of the caller.

01856603872 - SCAM - When I spoke there was a pause then a response, similar to an auto caller, no matter what I said the response made no sense to what I said - just a pause and then a pre recorded message. I asked why are you harassing me? and a pause followed before some weird nonsense.

Appears to be an energy advisor saying we had only traditional roof insulation but his call terminated rather abruptly
