    Because they use a random call generator that happened to get your number.

    Or

    Because they've been intercepting your mail and found something that had your phone number on it.
    loose does not rhyme with choose but lose does and is the word you meant to write.

    It's a call from Greece. 0030 is their country code.

    The chances of them having anything other than a list generated by a PC of UK mobile numbers is practically non-existent, I really wouldn't worry.

    That's what I meant about a random call generator thezib. A computer tries thousands of numbers that might be valid mobile numbers, it has no idea who has the number.
