The person calling gave unknown person's name. I am using my number for 20 years now and when I receive calls asking for other person, I simply tell "wrong number" and hang up.

Scammer began wishing to offer car accident insurance policies. But then asked if my young daughter wanted a test drive in his very expensive car. Ended call immediately. Police are investigating my complaint.

This is the second time they’ve called me, asking me to give them a chance they’re not trying to sell me anything they’re from U.K. today!? The first time they asked me if I read a newspaper and I said please stop calling me they hung up. The second time I didn’t let them ask me a question and I asked if they could remove my number from whatever records they have he replied sorry I can’t then hung up! I do not trust this number.
