They were pretending to be a home security company - as soon as I said I wasn’t the homeowner they hung up - presumably some burglary related scam but idk
I also, didn't answer, let it go through to answer phone. No message left. Probably selling or scamming.

Rang didn't answer blocked number
I stay silent as AI is being used to "clone " your voice to scam your family/friends that you need urgent financial help and need money immediately. I saw a demonstration of this on the BBC. Scary!
Asking about damp and wall insulation
Number not known to me. I didn't answer and no message was left. Suspect cold call or scam.
Nothing didn’t answer scam call
02045788746 Silent call. We have been bombarded with scam calls recently, so presume it is yet another one. We are with TPS.
Asked if i was the homeowner. I said I wasn’t going to answer that and she hung up.
"Jackie" calling from a company obviously offering damp proofing or home insulation. Started asking me questions about damp etc. She has called here before and I said I have asked you not to call again as registered with TPS, and she hung up before I could finish. Have now blocked by no doubt they will call again from a different number. About time this country had stricter laws about this type of thing. Its an invasion of our privacy and companies should be banned from cold calling.
When I answered the call with a simple "hello", there were several clicks on the line then the line connection was dropped. All they typical signs of a robocaller, and no one being available to take the answered call. BT also helpfully alerted me to it being a suspected "Nuisance" before I answered, so I knew what to expect.
Jackie from a company name I didn't catch. Her first question was, "Are you the homeowner?" My reply was, "Tell me what this is about, please, before I answer any questions". She hung up immediately. Obviously up to no good.
