Anyone know much about Hamilton & Groves?

Hi, just wondering if anyone knows much about a company called Hamilton and groves! They seem to be diamond investors and targeting my partners grandparents, ringing a few times a day!

Tonight when my partners grandad told them they were not interested, the guy on the end of the phone asked if gran has a sore throat? They have mainly been targeting gran and she has a gravvely voice due to a stroke! When grandad said yes she does sometimes, the guy proceeded to ask grandad if that's because "she has been sucking his d**k so much" and told him to "go and shove your d**k back where it belongs" and a few other obscenities. It has left him quite upset as they are quite old and I think it is absolutely disgraceful that someone would use this language towards them!

Is there anyway we can get them to stop calling as it very upsetting for them, thanks for any advice.

    Thank you for that. Luckily grandad is pretty clue'd up but they have been ringing sometimes when he has nipped out. Due to the stroke grandma can get a bit confused sometimes and will answer any questions, but luckily doesn't have access to the financial side of things. The phonecall tonight has really upset them.

    One has to laugh at this 21 year old running his own diamond estimating service from his mothers back room- with 40 years in the business!

    I'd report it to the police, it's a form of harassment against the elderly and vulnerable.
    Malicious communications.
    It's despicable.
    Don't know much about this subject but found this link.

    " One victim with Alzheimer’s was called by a firm pitching diamond investments and handed over £90,000 in three months. Each time a transaction was planned, he was told to keep it a secret."

    It's criminal .
