Is this a record for PPI sharks to call a new number?

On Saturday I moved my old Orange number to O2 when I left the shop I had a new sim with a temporary number awaiting porting of the old number which would be done on Monday..on Monday morning before the number was ported I got a call from a PPI phishing company...is this a record?

    Not really. The temporary number will have been a recycled one, so already known to these leaches.

    This is certainly true but I think it's still probably a record (scumbags calling you within a couple of minutes of getting a number), albeit of an unwelcome variety.
