This is a bit of a strange one...
My wife called me today and I missed call, she said instead of normal voicemail, it said that my number has been connected to fraud and to contact Action Fraud on their phone number. I thought she was winding. Me up and asked her to call again when she was home and this time it didn't happen. Thought nothing of it.
My son called me tonight and I rejected the call as I was driving and just pulling into the street. The same message happened and he panicked. When I got in we tried again and got normal message. He then tried it again and the action fraud message happened, I heard it this time.
Has anyone else experienced this? I tried to call EE but couldn't get to speak to anyone. I also tried the action fraud number but it's closed. Bit perplexed with it all tbh. I am not involved in any fraud, and I'm sure if I was I wouldn't be using the phone number I have had for almost 20 years!!!!
Any help would be appreciated

Have u got an app called Mask Off? To unblock withheld numbers, by any chance? My mate did a bit of digging online and asked me that...I did actually have the app after getting prank calls for weeks a few months ago.
The app is no longer available to download in UK.
In meantime I have turned off my voicemail.
