Called today, but no-one responded when I picked up. Were they checking whether number was still live?

Said the were from the Money Advice Bureau, and that I’d made an enquiry with them. I hadn’t made any such enquiry so hung up. Call was in a call centre with an Indian accent.

Called asking to speak to someone with a similar name to me. When I said no that’s not me then asked if I could help them with telling them my name… could hear it was in a call centre. Barely spoke English, hung up before I could hear anything else
