Called me by name. Talked about discount on home appliance insurance cover renewal. I don't have such cover. Using my name was a ploy to con me. Clearly a speculative call trying to scam me.
Caller was saying that I would be getting a Falls alarm(which I hadn't requested)I think they may have gone on to charge for this but I hung up at this point.
This number has called my twice today and no one answers this is an absolute nightmare haven’t these people anything better to do ??
Hung up as soon as I answered
