01476847983. SCAMMER bloke called john ringing about boiler insurance and going to change it but even though the man was speaking I realised that it was automated as it guesses responses, I stayed quiet and after a few seconds of him being quiet when my dog barked he carried on talking as if the dogs bark answered the question and I tried to ask a question as soon as I talked he wouldn't stop, saying something about having third party insurance, so I put the phone down
