I called oneinsurance on 01782 781500 (stoke-on-trent) for a car insurance quote. I went through all my details & the cockney woman i was talking to told me to hold why she spoke to her manager about quote with hertz insurance?. Then i was transfered for some reason to another operator, this time a cockney man,said his name was Mike, showing the number 01279 729280 (Bishops Stortford) who asked me to go through details again. Said he was from sterling insurance this time? said he couldn't do anything but £500+ quote, so i said no & ended call. Then got a call from the first same cockney woman from number 0191 594 9970 (/same woman from Stoke-on-trent then in sunderland???) asking me if i got a quote!!! I told her i was transfered and she claimed to not know anything about it at first, but the said "sorry about that" and we ended the call. I BELIEVE THESE PEOPLE ARE OBTAINING DETAILS FOR FRAUDULENT MEANS. VERY SUSPICIOUS BEWARE!!!

This was from an insurance company - I had filled out my renewal date details at a show in order to be entered into a prize draw and they were contacting me wanting to provide me with a quote.
