Occasional landline phone calls
My sister part owns a small holiday home which I often visit. It is in an area with no mobile signal, so she's kept the landline active.

About four months ago, my business fell victim to a scam. Recently, I noticed some unexpected direct debit payments from Three (H3G) on my business's bank account, even though we don't have any contracts with Three.
