When I answered, just silence on the line. Blocked.

Overseas call centre. Crackling line so hard to hear, but appeared to be asking to speak to the owner of a company different from ours - suggested wrong number/wrong info in their system.

Three calls in one day all from different numbers as I keep blocking them. I am on the do not call register and they are being reported. Also next time you call, I’m blowing my air horn down the phone.
