Called at 18:30. Number unknown to me.
Called 18:06 I didn’t answer
Called my mobile , I answered as it’s a business phone , no answer from the other end
Scam caller waffling on about life insurance - let them drone on for about two minutes then hung up on them.
I didn't answer the phone. No voicemail left and I assume its a spammer.
Somebody asking what type of underwear I am wearing
Phoned my 9 year old about life insurance
Cold call claiming to be about life insurance cover. Opened the call by using an assumptive "am i speaking to xxxx xxxx?" but the forename they provided was that of my son who is a minor and attends primary school (!?). I challenged them on this and they eventually hung up. Concerns me that they have somehow come by info that links my phone number with the name of one of my kids.
Instinctively I thought this was some sort of company ringing and then when I answered it was an Asian woman asking me if I have Life insurance. When I told her I wasn't interested she put the phone down so its obvious its a scam. How do we report the number?
