"Alex Smith" from "The Energy Advice" said he wanted to do a loft inspection as I could be eligible (lucky me) for FREE help from a scheme the government was helping which and had been all over the BBC (apparently). Said "that wasn't a good enough validation as it may have been 'scammersRus' sort of all over BBC and sorry - dont watch telly anyway. Got much better things to do that watch that drivel." When asked where he got my number said it was on the national data base. Which one? Ah! you wouldn't know it! Yes, as it doesn't exist as you try calling numbers then try to find out where I am and then scam me - no? Asked how the weather was in Mumbai - come on Alex tell me dude... You know what Mr (he knew my name) lets just leave this call right here.... No, no, no please I am bored to death lets talk Alex. *click* Alex? Alex? Aleeeexxxxxx? Jolly rude really. Anyway I blocked his number and guess he won't call back. (Damn - it was such fun)
