You are probably right, and it's a good thing to put it on here to give folk a heads up

The other day dh answered a call on our rarely-used landline.

Caller (very RP voice) - ‘Am I right in thinking I’m speaking to the owner of the house?’

Dh: ‘Which house?’

Caller: ‘Thank you - goodbye!’

So we don’t know what the scam would have involved, but the fact that it was the landline makes us think they are targeting people who (they hope!) will be elderly, naive and particularly vulnerable.
