Robocall Reports for 08 7111 0198

Three contributors have flagged 08 7111 0198 (also written as 0871110198) for suspicious activity. The most concerning report describes a robocall with an automated voice message that triggered Google's call screening feature. The recorded message was fragmented and difficult to understand, mentioning something about "the school" being "in relation to their work government," followed by "But I have to see you" before the call disconnected. The contributor marked 08 7111 0198 as spam and blocked the number.

Beyond the robocall, additional reports about 0871110198 describe suspicious voicemails and silent calls. One contributor received an automated voicemail containing only the word "goodbye" in a robotic voice, which they suspected was spam or scam activity. Another report documented a missed call from 08 7111 0198 with no voicemail left behind.

What Callers from 08 7111 0198 Say

The primary report from 08 7111 0198 involved an automated recorded message with unclear audio quality. The fragment captured by the contributor's call screening tool mentioned a school and government work, though the phrasing was incoherent and may indicate a misconfigured robocall system or intentionally obfuscated messaging. The call ended abruptly after the confusing statement.

The secondary report about 0871110198 described an equally puzzling automated voicemail: a single word "goodbye" spoken in a synthetic voice. This type of one-word message is unusual and suggests either a testing call, a misdirected robocall, or an intentional technique to confirm active phone numbers for list-harvesting purposes.

Report Patterns and Timing

The three reports for 08 7111 0198 span a two-and-a-half-week period from late October to early November. The robocall with the fragmented message arrived on 6 November during early morning hours (04:28 UTC), while the suspicious voicemail was received on 4 November at 01:50 UTC. A silent missed call occurred on 20 October. The pattern suggests intermittent calling activity rather than persistent bombardment, though the timing in early morning hours is typical of automated calling systems.

All three incidents involving 0871110198 occurred via inbound calls or voicemail, with no reports of SMS or other contact methods. One contributor used Google's call screening feature, indicating the number triggered spam detection filters.
