Called at 11:56am on 9th April 2016. My phone flagged it as “suspected scam” so I didn’t answer it. No voicemail left.
Indian sounding guy said he was calling from Housing about a fault I reported recently. I own my property so quite obviously a scam.
Pretending to be "Your Bank" Didn't say a bank name just "Your Bank". Dirty Scammers
Did not initially introduce himself (man with indian accent) just asked how I was. When I asked who was calling he said he was Eric calling about the report I made to the Housing Officer. I live with my parents, who own their home outright. No Housing Officer involved. I hung up immediately as I was at work and didn't have time for that.
One missed call - no voicemail left…
When I called the number back a few minutes after the call, the answerphone response said this number is "not in service". So clearly something untoward, so I would suggest a scam.
Call back and said number not in service
