Unsolicited phonecall from a number labled as Bromyard, England. Answered but didn't speak, only to hear an automated voice say 'Goodbye' with nothing else. Most likely a scam to test what numbers are real and answer to play a call so I blocked.

Not sure who this was that called but was a (Cultured) European lady. She was on about energy conservation and may have been legitimate but I had the gut feeling she was "Phishing" I'm worried now that I may have given snippets of information that could be used illegally

Same as Anonymous above....

Said his name was 'Kevin' (amazing really when he had an INDIAN accent) and told me that he had spoken earlier. (WRONG - I hadn't). Then told me something that was completely inaccurate so without correcting him I simply told him I wasn't, I hadn't and put the phone down. Said he was to do with energy or some rot. Blocked all - total time wasters.
