I was expecting a return call so didn't look at the number when I picmed up the phone. I never pick up if I dont recognise a number. A male voice speaking very fast said " I'm calling you about new changes to Equity Release. I just need to ask you a few questions to see if you qualify. I told him I wasn't interested and hung up. I imagine it's a scam of some kind.
