He knew my name and part of my address and said they were calling on behalf of royal London life insurance, when I said I didn’t have life insurance, he said well you’ve obviously searched it in the last few weeks and I said no the last time I searched it was over 20 Years ago when my ex died, he went quiet and I said remove my details and I hung up
