Block the number and report it free to 7726.
Don’t offer the caller any information.

Will undoubtedly be a spoofed number. They will use it for a while and then move on. That way it is harder to trace and blocking the number becomes a pointless exercise (I will still do it though if you have a phone that both blocks and reports spam numbers)

Have a read through this
