Keep phoning from different numbers when I ask who they are they just hang up now BLOCKED
Indian accented man asking for 'the man of the household' , just repeated question when ask for a name. Then disconnected
Just had a call from this number claiming to be Domestic & General. Caller was a gentleman with an obvious Indian accent, who said his name was David. He claimed I was eligible for a discount and would need to verify my post code before they could apply the supposed discount to my account. I told the guy that he could tell me what they had on file, and I would confirm it, as he could be a scammer. He claimed this was not a scam, then promptly disconnected the call, which tells me that he is indeed a scammer.
Didn't answer, as they aren't in my phone book. My answerphone message says that, if you are genuine and not a scammer, leave me a message, and I will call you back. If you don't, I know you're a scammer. They didn't leave me a message, so that number is now blocked.
Very persistent and said if I answered one question she would not bother me again. Put the phone down and asked to remove from system.
