    Hi All,

    I just had a phone called from someone in Scotland called
    Something-Clarke-Something. They introduced themselves and said.

    "For security purposes can I have the first line of your address and
    your postcode"

    I replied, "Well, who are you?"

    She said "This is something clarke something"

    To which I said "Well, yeah, who are you?"

    She said "I've just told you the company name".

    So I said "You haven't told who you are or why your're calling".

    So she hurriedly said "We'll call back when you're received our
    correspondence.

    WTF!?

    The number the call came from was on 1471:
    08453 006 900

    Anyone heard about these chancers?
