Friday 17th October 2025 Cold called me at 10.30am. No voice or recording or anything, just silent. 15 seconds later hung up. Most likely automated fetching and testing mobile numbers from a potential victims list of numbers to see which are alive, unfortunately rather standard. Expect future scam/fraud/spam calls in the future if you get a call from this as your number is logged on a list to be shared and sold
