Some Indian guy wanting to talk about investments. I said I work in financial crime so I'm sure as hell ain't going to invest with some random who claims to be calling from some business in Mayfair. The Mayfair bit was an attempt to try to legitimise them as credible. Absolute BS. Remember folks, if anyone calls you out of the blue with a story of incredible returns it is 99.9% a scam. Especially if they say you need to invest now before the offer is withdrawn. I know. I've dealt with customers who have lost their life savings due to these scumbags.
