Missed call with no voicemail left. Did not recognise the number so checked online before deciding what to do next.

Caller repeatedly asked can you hear me. This type of call is known to be used for scams so I avoided responding.

Answered the call but no one spoke. My phone flagged it as a nuisance call.

reported 0131 381 8688 as Dangerous
Call went to answer machine and the caller hung up without leaving a message. Likely part of a scam campaign.

Automated female voice asking if I could hear her. Did not engage as this is commonly linked to scam tactics.

Female caller spoke about gas and energy. Became pushy when questioned and did not handle responses well.

reported 0131 381 8688 as Dangerous
Female voice asked if I could hear her multiple times. I responded but the call behaviour seemed suspicious and unnatural.

reported 0131 381 8688 as Dangerous
Unsolicited robocall from someone claiming to be from an energy care team for my area. The message was long and clearly automated, trying to sound legitimate while gathering engagement.

reported 0131 381 8688 as Neutral
Got called on my landline at 1218pm today from this number, came up as a nuisance caller did not answer it but cannot block via phone as list is full, so will be adding to list when I go onto provider's website and sorting it form there.

reported 0131 381 8688 as Harassing
Energy survey - woman was extremely persistent, and continued to read her script as I attempted to tell her that she was wasting my time and that I would be blocking her number, which I did straight away!
