Odd Phone Calls.

Since yesterday I have had four calls from an 01228 etc number. I believe it is the Carlisle area.
They never leave a message, and when I answer, without speaking, there is silence at their end, although someone is obviously on the other end.
It doesn’t scare me, but it does bother me.
I thought I was signed up for the ‘call barring organisation’ but that was some years ago.
Any thoughts?

whats the whole number?
Try googling the number.

You will probably be directed to a site that says who is calling, and it might identify if it is a cold calling outfit.

Did the whole number but got nowhere.
Thanks.
Block it. That's what I do.
It’s the latest number being used to try and sell you a call barring service (I know, love the irony!). Had 4 missed calls on my home phone from them, Googled the number and it only seems to have appeared in the last day or so!
Don't ever use the word "Yes" or similar if they ask you a question. I read once that they record it and say you agreed to some scam or other.

Thank you Samu. That was a useful tip. I consider myself fairly on the ball, but would never have thought of that one.
This is the best investment I ever made:
BT 8600.

You only get one call from a number then 'zap', no more.
