Washing machine warranty scam. Quoted £93 for a yearly extension on my white goods at home. Out of my infinite patience & part curiosity, I asked whether he'd be able to provide any information about my appliances at home. Of course, I get passed onto someone (presumably senior) who repeats from the exact same script again. No tact with these people. Anyway, feel free to waste their time. 100% just after your bank account details and nothing more.

White goods scammer again!
White goods warranty scam. Had her going for 4 minutes 41 seconds! Idiots!
Waiting for hospital to ring for urgent appointment and being pestered by these time wasters that you cannot understand. It's time these people are closed down.
Spam caller
I played along but gave false answers, they wanted my age, what make my fridge and washing machine was, do I have life insurance and finally... What's today's date... Not had that one before so I said "I don't know, I don't keep track of dates"... Treat as dangerous...
