has called every few days for over a month leaving no message and only lately picked up because I was expecting a call from bank. Operator with call centre background said 'Hello is Fred there?' I replied no, no one of that name and operator said ' Oh, Sorry someone must have put a wrong name in here. Thank you!'. I am listing as scam/fraud because I can only assume this is not a mistake and a ruse to record voice or to see if scam calls will be answered.
