They claim to offer services for council properties (I do not live in one). This is from a virtual number service. Very suspicious in their manner, if you ask what records they have. I get similar calls from other (virtual) numbers. My guess is they are spamming to get information. I always decline.

Don't answer unknown numbers to me if it's important they can leave a message
