Claim to be from a car leasing company, Lex Autolease and asked from my email address. Told them that if he was form Lex then he would have all my information and that Lex do not cold call asking such info. He hung up. When I called the number back there was a recored message saying "Don't worry, you missed a call from your "car leasing provider and we will call you back". Definitely a scam or their message would state it was Lex Autolease. It was a phishing call and I expect they ring numerous numbers claiming to be from a different leasing company every time! Hang up and ignore if you get such a call.

Claimed to be from Lex Autolease which is nonsense as they are part of Lloyds Banking Group and do not ask for personal information!
