Regularly phoning my Aunt who is 93. Please stop - who on earth are they? Why would you call an old deaf person at 6.15 in the morning unless you are a crazy scammer?

I had a call and was asked to confirm who I was. I asked them what am I confirming my name for and what's the call for but they wouldn't give me an answer and started to shout at me to confirm who I was. I told them to f*** off and called them a lot more for speaking to me that way and for not answering my question. they then told me to just go and hung up on me.
