Asked if I had life insurance. No I do not. I hung up. Annoying because I'm expecting a call from someone I don't know their number.

They keep calling from different numbers - spammers. Ensure you report them to Ofcom by texting the word ‘call’ plus the number to 7726.

Keeps calling to review my 'life cover' from various numbers. As soon as I tell them I am an IFA they terminate the call. Possible scam ??
