    If you get anything....telephone, email, etc etc from anyone. They should have your details. If anyone wants to know any personal details, just hang up on them.

    My Wife had a phone call, ostensibly from our bank (worrying....found a scrap of paper somewhere? I shred usually) asking to speak to her. The caller asked her to confirm her postcode for them. After a quick word with me, she said NO!. They then said, if she wouldn't confirm her postcode, they couldn't tell her why they were calling. The answer was...O.K. then, and she hung up. No further contact from our bank resulted from this call.
    Got a name, got a phone number, but no post code? Couldn't figure that one out. Perhaps it WAS the bank, just trying to sell us something we didn't want, but what a stupid approach.
