Suspicious unsolicited phone call from an unknown number
I received an unexpected call at 8:34 am on my ex-directory landline from the number displayed as 01392922023. I answered the call but did not speak, waiting for the caller to identify themselves. After a short period of silence, the call was disconnected.
I checked the number using 1471 and carried out an online search. The number appeared to be associated with net-work.net, and I found several online reports and reviews relating to this number.
I cannot confirm the reason for the call or who was behind it, but the experience raised concerns for me. I understand that some automated calling systems may use unanswered or silent calls to identify active numbers, although I cannot confirm that this was the case here.
My advice is to be cautious when receiving unexpected calls from unknown numbers. Avoid sharing personal information, allow callers to identify themselves first, and independently verify the identity of anyone claiming to represent a company or organisation. I have chosen not to engage further with this caller and would recommend others exercise caution.
