Nobody spoke but I could hear background chatter, like a room full of scammers perhaps. They hung up after 10 seconds or so. Most likely scammers, who hung up because I didn't sound like a vulnerable/elderly victim.

Yet another fake 'Energy Dept' number. Scammer's number. When I call it back it gives an identical Energy Dept. announcement as 2 other scam numbers. How can we prosecute these time-wasters?

Scam call. Rang off after less then 30 secs. Called it back and got a robot with a fake announcement 'welcome to Energy Dept (sic)' . Terrible English helps to give it away. Cut me off after I pressed '1' to talk to an advisor - obviously a fraud.
