When I answered they asked for me by name when I asked who was calling the line was silent- hello? hello? No reply so I hung up. Not sure why he bothered calling in the first place

Line wasn't the best so I couldn't hear clearly, I think they said life insurance review but I could be mistaken. Hung up on me when I said I couldn't hear properly.

Called me just now. I answered it then rang loudly for a second then went silent. I listened and waited for about 15 seconds, then the line hung up. Very frustrating
