The caller claimed to be sorting a requested finance arrangement. NO such arrangement had been requested. When challenged the caller became defensive, although seemed to remain calm. Yet another COLD call amongst many others

Got 2 calls about 3hrs apart, it only rang once and no message was left. Not called back, so maybe scam or telemarketer.
