Hi, I had a missed call from an 020 number today(020******29). I called back to find it was a company called be sure. The person that answered said they called because I had entered a comp to win an iPad.......But then went on to try to sell me cancer insurance for women:mad:. When I asked ." So i haven't won then?" he said no. I told him I didn't want his insurance! I wanted to put this here just in case anyone else has a missed call and wonders what it was.

I had the call too, he was polite and when he asked why I didnt want to by the insurance I couldn't think of an explanation! I still don't know, is 'I can't be bothered' reasonable??? I didn't buy it anyway.
Thanks to all who post, good luck one and all.:hello: :beer: :j:beer::hello:0 -
Looks like they did run a competition through handbag.com, but they shouldn't use it as an excuse to call people.

This happened to me too! When she said 'you recently entered a competition with us...' I got excited- she then said 'we would like to offer you insurance..' I told her I was too busy to discuss it and hung up! Mean people leading us on like that!0
