Some "car insurance" scam

Possibly a car insurance company regarding a claim and representing the other party? Had no idea who this was for or about and when stating this, the caller hung up so probably a scam. Be aware, people!

Had a call from this number yesterday, 01981794679. As I was waiting on a call from my Dr's I didn't look at the number and just picked up the phone call. Not only did they use my maiden name (I haven't been Mrs B for almost 10 years) but they said that i had debt which is impossible because I've never taken out a loan of any kind. When I stated that there is no debt in my name and never has been they promptly hung up. I've had several calls today from suspected spam numbers which I have not picked up but believe are linked to me picking up that 1st phone call.
