Got a phone call on my landline from this number, a bloke, telling me about home insurance that I had with such and such a company. Didn't catch what he said about the name insurance company. Doesn't matter cos I knew it was a scam straightaway. Also, if you get a phone call from this scammer, and ANY scammers, do not say "Yes". Not ever. If you do there's a chance you'll be tied into a verbal contract that you've apparently signed up for. The scammer will edit your spoken "Yes" into a conversation you had with said scammer. So, remember; NEVER say "Yes" to ANY stranger that phones you! Google the "Yes" scam and you'll see what I mean.
