They have been calling for years asking for Lee Howard or Mr Howard. Every time I tell them that person isn’t me. Today they asked me what my name was I declined to answer. I asked the company they were calling for.. they said I am calling from the uk. I hung up

This number called my mobile 3 times in quick succession at 16.30 on 28 Nov - my mobile immediately flagged it up as 'Suspected Spam'. At 15.30 an 01224 084748 called me on 28 Nov - 748 as opposed to the later 749 one!
