they rang on 17th nov 2025 at 9:22am.
i just missed it and rang straight back with my number displayed. it was a female automated voice that said "your call is important to us please continue to stay on the line". i hung up. the same number rang me back at 2:37 that same day. i picked up but said nothing + listened. i heard background voices of men + women - like a call centre (?)
nobody spoke. i hung up + blocked the number
