this is USAYCOMPARE. I had to give my number to get a private medical insurance quote, the next day they phoned and provided quotes. They are a genuine company but they are not based in the 01698 area and mimicking their number to give the impression they are, I only gave my mobile but they had my postcode as part of the enquiry so to go to that length to make me pick up the phone is a red flag for me.
