Had a call from this number at 11am. Strong Indian accent like the call centres and coul hear people in the back ground. The line was broken. I asked him to call off a mobile and cut him off. He asked is bmw available. Postcode . Can I come to see tmrw. And then said do you have hpi report. I knew straight away that's its the scam where they ask you to pay for a car data check off their own site which then gets your card details name etc. Ive blocked it and reported it scam. They've stepped it up .it used to be via text before. He said he's calling from London but its Kent
