I didn't answer the call as it comes through as a nuisance call on my phone. They didn't leave a message, so I just blocked the number. And read all the comments other people had left. Be wary of the number 01253 257228.

Earlyish morning call at 0830 hours. I answered by simply saying "Yes?". I was asked by someone with an Indian/ oriental accent if I was the man of the house. I'm afraid I told them to .....off and put the phone down.
