I decided to answer the call, despite misgivings, but to say nothing. After about 5 seconds I heard the classic scammers' opening gambit of "Hello, how are you today?". So I said "Thank you" and terminated the call. Just another blocked number now...

020 number claiming housing repairs. Not expected. Suprise!

Claiming to be from "Housing Repair Solutions" and were calling about the complaint I made about my council house being in disrepair. When I said they had the wrong number they immediately hung up. Sounded very scammy. And when I tried to call the number back it said it was "not in service".
