Foreign accent claiming to be from Domestic and General about a non existent contract.

Voicemail sounded like a call centre in the background but no proper message left.
User reported 0131 381 7479 as Dangerous
I never answer calls from withheld or unknown numbers, if it's important they can leave a message. And they did, "Hi it's just Jane, calling from the energy care team in your area, how are you today, are you all ok..?" That got repeated three or four times, so obviously a recording. Then it changed to "No problem at all, sorry to have bothered you, have a lovely day, bye bye." Fun and games, eh..?!

Keeps ringing the answerphone and never leaves a message. These scam nuisance calls really need stopping.

Keeps ringing then either goes silent or leaves no message on the answer machine. Clearly nuisance scam calls.

Silent nuisance call to a TPS registered landline. No voicemail left which strongly suggests scam activity.

Caller claimed to be checking my Domestic and General appliance insurance contract. I do not even have a policy with them so the whole thing sounded suspicious.

Called my long standing ex directory landline and hung up when I stayed silent. Very suspicious considering how few people even have the number.

Caller with a foreign accent claiming to discuss kitchen appliance insurance. Sounded completely fake and untrustworthy.

Call to landline from an unrecognised number. I ignored it and no voicemail was left, so it appears to be another nuisance scam call.

Went to answer the phone and they disconnected immediately. Very frustrating sort of nuisance call.
