2 yearsGot a voicemail from someone claiming they work for a pension firm, said it was really important I rang back...4 yearsSome bloke answered and just went straight for ‘Goodbye’. Feels like a dodgy scam to me... doesn’t it?4 yearsGot a call from a woman pushing some alarm system deal, but my missus told her she wasn't interested. Instead of just hanging up, the woman got all offended and insulted my wife, calling her a daft old cow. Thoroughly charming behaviour, really.4 yearsGot a call from a woman, sounded quite mature, maybe called Susan, with a Midlands accent I think, claiming she was from some local crime prevention group. She was keen on setting up a meeting to discuss how to prevent crime, mentioning her “last available slots” were at 11am and 4pm, but didn’t really specify which day. I was almost convinced at first, but then something felt off. I told her those times probably wouldn’t suit us and asked if she could just post some information about crime prevention instead. She said she’d check but then quickly said goodbye and hung up!SusanMidlands4 yearsThe minute my answerphone started, they just hung up straight away.4 yearsA bloke rang me up about some alarm thing for folks over 50, and I didn't really trust him.
