Caller polite, English speaking. Time delay in response / speech Said I had reported a housing issue and asked me to confirm what it was. Thought it was a scam so said that yes I had reported rats in the building. He said he had the wrong number and cut off

They keept ringing me then when I finally answered they ask "how am I today?" Now normally I don't answer unknown numbers but this one didn't sound ai they sounded like a really person. As I was not bothered I just hung up but as I reply it in my head there was a giggle before anything was said. So probably just prank callers.
called saying "they were calling back about a housing issue" - I told them to call me later
CAll was regarding the housing issues I had reported. Nothing to do with me and it has to be a scam. A coincidence that the news this morning was all about damp issues in housing stock, so the scammers jump right on that immediately!!!!
Didn't answer but unknown number
Someone by the name of Dan or Danny called saying I made an enquiry for a housing repair. I told them I didn't. They then proceeded asking what housing issue do I have. I said none. That was the end of the conversation, they then said 'bye'.
They began with "how are you today"? Then said they were ringing about a 'housing problem'. It sounded like an AI call possibly spam/fraudulent. I hung up!
Caller said I reported a housing issue. Then asked if I had problems with leaks and broken windows.
Once
Caller said I reported housing issue. I’m in Edinburgh why would London number be calling me
Started by what sounded like an AI voice asking me how I was today. I knew from that it was a trash caller so hung up.
