01615201248 called on 31/08/2021 Female voice saying that they were calling council homes (mine isn't) regarding a grant or help to deal with damp/building issues etc. Politely gave her an earful and was told 'there's no need to be rude' - Best bet when an unidentified number comes up is to follow the suggestion from one of the entries below - just stay silent until they put the phone down - or don't answer at all - and let them leave a message if they are legit.

Say they are calling from "Ecohomes" about a government grant. Knew my name and address. Very very abrupt and hung up when I wouldn't confirm my address.
