Looks like a possible scam. Got a call connected to a Gum Tree ad I put up, reckon they’re just going through numbers from the site and ringing them randomly. Really irritating and could be a dodgy scammer trying something fishy.

Some bloke rang me about insurance and somehow already knew my name, so I told him he had the wrong person and hung up. Then I got a call from his missus on a Manchester number ‭0161 818 7739‬ asking about some £4000 compensation. Both sounded Indian. These scammers really are getting more desperate for cash.

When I asked who gave him permission to have my number, he just hung up. Dodgy spammers, best not bother answering. Just block the number.
