Couple of calls, no VM or SMs left, I don;t recognise the number, came here to see if there was info about it, and I'm certain this is a spam/scam caller, I'll block the number as soon as I finish typing.

Scam

Female with Aussie accent calling from a very noisy call centre background. Female claimed to be Louise from Grantham home and was offering to give me yes that’s right give me $30,000.

Was not interested She then said surely you are interested in $30,000 I said not really. She then went on to talk over me saying that I could or spend it on a holiday or put it towards a mortgage. I then said again I am not interested and said I’m going to hang up now. She then said I can see I’ve time so I’ll ring you back another time. I then hung up and blocked number.
