WFH today, so when the landline rings I just ignore it and let it go to the answer machine, which then promptly ends the call.
But just now instead of ringing off, a recording of the BT 1571 answering service was played, going through the spiel and asking "press 1 to repeat, press 2 to..". And it looped continuously until I answered the phone and promptly ended the call (who 'hangs up' these days?).
I'll bet some premium rate number is coining it at the moment...
(PS. No calls on the BT answering machine btw - I don't have it...)
