They called twice within an hour claiming to be two different companies and wanted to ask me three quesions. The first guy kicked off when questioned on where they got my details and said I was disrespecting him and in breach of employer law. When I made the point that I'm not his employer he told me one of the technical team would be in touch to deal with me and hung up. The second one was polite but claimed he got my details from a publicly available database. When I asked what database he said he couldn't say for privacy reasons. When I pointed out the flaw in his argument he hung up. Absolute scam fest.
