I didn't get chance to answer, but it were saying Suspected Scam so wouldn't have answered anyway. I trust my antivirus package!

They just called me. Couldn't get to the phone quick enough, but when I looked at the number it's been designated as SPAM.

Rang, not for long. Didn't answer, they didn't leave a message. Suspect it is a spam.
