A lady phoned and asked for a name I didn't recognise. I told her I was the person she asked for. She asked my age and if I worked in the armed forces, and then asked me what kind of washing machine I have and whether I had a warranty for my fridge freezer. She then asked what today's date was and that she would call back again. Obviously preparing for some kind of scam
Caller said he was from Domestic & General it is a Scam

I didn't recognise the number at all so ignored it, mainly because I have had a lot of spam/fraud calls.
