I left the 4th comment about Indian or Pakistani male stating I could get a claim. When I called back just after writing the comment it stated the number could not be recognised. Scam scam scam

Answered the call. An Indian or Pakistani male answered telling me that he can help me with repairs for my home as there has been a "surge" of people who's landlords are not helping and they can help deal with the situation and I would be entitled to a claim. Male stated he has my address, postcode and phone number on file ( I think to try and comfort me as I was very direct and blunt ), but changed the subject when I told him I didn't feel comfortable continuing the conversation until he provided more information about me. Told him to stick it. Definitely a shady character.
