Said it was about local shopping habits, said I was busy and hung up. Sounded a bit suspect to me.

I asked where she got my number from and she said it’s rolling system. I said she shouldn’t be ringing a number that’s blocked. I had rung a mobile earlier from my landline - this does happen.

No message left on answerphone - they would if they really wanted me! Probably unsolicited.
