Refused to work with BT call blocker legit callers would. Obvious scam.

Questions about home insulation and that all my neighbours already signed up. Sounds totally like a SCAM even though the accent was English which is unusual. Hung up fast and blocked the number.

Posing as an energy adviser but it's clearly a scam. Don't bother talking to them at all. They try to sound convincing but it's all fake. Blocked right away.

I asked if she knew who I was when she asked me for some details as I was apparently on their list. She had no idea. It was about solar panels!

Probably a call centre, working on behalf of debt recovery company, trying to see if you answer the phone and admit your identity, they will use various scripts and not ask for you by name: its to update records so the debt company can continue hassling you, particularly for debts that have elapsed for enforcement
