Had some time on my hands with nothing better to do so kept this scammer on the line for over an hour whilst he tried to convince me that he was in Manchester even though the phone number isn't a Manchester STD code. I figured that whilst I was having fun at his expense he wasn't managing to con some poor victim into giving away personal information or bank details. I have to admit it was fun as he got more and more into the conversation without seeming to realise that I was wasting his time. He even gave me an address (23 Leeham Road Manchester) and an FCA registration number (E1460581) . Needless to say both are false.
This time it was an insurance scam but looking at other comments it seems that they run a variety of scams from this number.
