Cold call about the warranty on my boiler! I don’t have a boiler, requested they take me off their list of numbers. Indian sounding accent called me ma’am, I used to be called that when I lived and worked in Pune some 40 years ago, I’ve never had an English/British person call me that!

Disconnected as answered phone. Likely scam/cold sales call. No known relevance to Okehampton area or is a spoofed phone number.
