New Tactic from H&L Solicitors

Options
Hi,

I hope that I am not repeating an old post however over the last week or so I have been receiving a number of calls on my mobile from mobile numbers I do not recognise. These numbers have included:
  • 07964038716
  • 07964035617
On each occasion I have not answered (I make it a policy of not answering calls when I do not recognise the number). On the calls from the above numbers I have received a voicemail message asking me to call H&L Solicitors.

A quick Google search for the numbers and the company suggest that this company have tried to claim that people owe money from debts from more than 10 years ago and that they are collecting the debt before Court action (which could not happen due to the time since the alleged debt).

Why they want to contact me I have no idea but there is no way I am going to respond to them over the phone (if for nothing else, I do not know who I am talking to and there is no way I am going to give out personal information over the phone). If they really feel that I owe them money then they can write to me as they must have my address is they have my mobile phone number.

In the mean time, I think that everyone should be aware of this new tactic of making calls from what appear to be mobile numbers in the hope that you will answer and provide personal details.
