Spam callers, don't answer
Believe to be scam number 01863769398
On answering silence don’t know anyone in Scotland and wasn’t expecting a call so will block.
Been getting calls from various companies this being one of them on Christmas eve, asking for a certain person. Politely asked them not to hang up until I know they delete my number, they hung mouthing something in a different language, and I'm the rude one
Phone flagged it as spam - blocked !
This number just came up on my phone. Clearly a scam
Called at 10:35. Asked me to confirm my name, which I didn’t until they had told me they were from “UK Now” and just wanted to ask me some questions. I confirmed my name (clearly they have it anyway) but they wanted to confirm my address. Did not confirm/deny and asked them to tell me what it was about. Phone cut out - think I wasn’t playing ball so they’ve moved onto the next person.
This number has phoned me at 08.24 in the morning the past 2 mornings. First call I answered and no-one spoke so hung up.
called 08.00 christmas eve, didnt answer
Got call twice from this number since morning. Picked up but nothing. I believe its best to block it
Rang first thing never answered as I can’t recall expecting any call from Scotland !
Called me at 08:24 nobody spoke
They knew my name but wouldn’t tell me who they are or the purpose of the call. I didn’t tell confirm my name unless they confirmed who they were and they out the phone down.
