Lady with an Indian accent asked if I was Mrs Price (I'm not) so I said no sorry you have the wrong number. She then said but you are the owner of this number and then started doing some sort of sales pitch or survey to me. Don't bother answering this number.

Received a phone call, didn’t even get my name right said I wasn’t that person. Asked if I was a family member of that person which I wasn’t. Asked if I was the owner of the phone number they rung me on, said no and they hung up on me.

Literally called a few minutes ago. Didn't even know my name, just said a random one. How rude.

Received an unanswered call from this number today. My phone identified it as being from Whitchurch, England. Since I don’t know anyone from that area and didn’t recognise the number I didn’t answer. I will now block it. Oddly, I’ve been receiving other calls from Northern Ireland, which I have no connection to, and I blocked them yesterday after checking on this site first.

Been getting several calls from this number. I do not answer unknown numbers as most of these are scams anyway.
