Constantly ringing have now blocked the number

Wanted my full name and address - refused so they just hung up

Interesting to see that others report this as D&G since I have just cancelled a policy with them, or tried to and they don’t seem to want to cancel it despite my instructions. Called today but when I answered they were silent, so I blocked as I do all silent callers before even looking it up. Given other users report D&G confirming it is NOT their number, makes me think D&G ARE selling on customer details without consent?

Called by these quite often, maybe it is D&G chasing customers...but if it's genuine, why don't they leave a message. Not answering to unknown callers nowadays, too many scammed out there!
