Agent said the company was policy protect, then some other name for a life insurance review. I rang back twice to waste their time and more and more ask how they got my information and how to get it off their database They're just trained monkeys going down an outdated list and only had a name phone number and an old address. They note you down as interested, not interested or not answered. Apparently after an undefined length of time your details are removed if not interested but I'm not sure this complies with GDPR and told them this and they just hung up on me for the third time Might try calling again see howuch time I can waste of theirs.

Uses a legitimate company name for an equity release but is clearly a scam, as all details are wrong.

Three times is 24 hours 'John' called about my driveway -' do you still have a driveway?' I wonder how would you lose a driveway - ' We're making a booklet with a special reduction' - 'do you mind me asking how old is your driveway/' - it's one year old 'have you thought of upgrading?' identical script, pain, as I have friends in Sheffield.
