Received a call from this number. A lady called Sarah spoke but sounded automated. She was calling regarding Whisky investments. I just told her I wasn't interested and put the phone down then blocked the number

Call today from this number on my land line from what I suspect was automated questions and responses using a womans voice. Wanted details about my loft after me saying I did not need insulation. I asked where did she get my number from. The reply from a database, I said impossible I am ex directory. It asked me to repeat. This may be a scam used to record voices. The only time I gave my phone number online was yesterday on a Boots Chemist app.

Pain in the backside

Didn't answer. Had a few calls just recently "thank you for doing the survey" that's why I didn't bother answering.

" Its Gabby " your local advisor am I talking to the home owner ? I believe this number is from the Orkneys so not very local to Surrey. We get a call to our landline about once a month despite asking not to be called again numerous times. Twice I've actually played along and let her ramble on. Its obviously a con / scam or bad deal of some sort because once after she finished telling me all about my loft I asked if I would need to contact my council landlords she slammed the phone down. Today the line " this is a Compliance call " was used !! making it sound like an official body . Whoever this organization is why don't trading standards etc get involved and close them down, They are obviously harassing people on a regular basis and using misleading methods to entice customers ( Sorry VICTIMS !! )
