Spam! They don’t say anything when you answer. I’ve been called by various random landline numbers over the last 2 days, one of which said they were from a recruitment centre… on a Saturday! … I’ve been self employed for years! Assume they’ve got hold of a phone list and are slamming people left right and centre from various numbers.
