Scam Call today BEWARE

I had a nuisance call today, and I just put the phone down without disconnecting. I've been out for the day and realised I'd left it; it had clocked up 10 hours. I do hope it kept the line open (even if it was an IP phone at their end.)0

Hi I am new to MSE Forum, I hope I am posting this in the right place!!
Over the last 2 days I have had 4 calls from this number 08004030672. In broken English they say they are the Credit Investigation manager and that my details have been pasted on to them by FSA!! They say they can see I have some credit cards and catalogue debts that I am paying off. When I asked for the name of the company they said why did I need to know that!! I have tried to ring the number but it is not recognised. so far I have not managed to find out what they are up to. Has any one else been called?0 -

Perhaps add them to websites such as whocallsme.com and report them to TPS.
Is it illegal to claim a regulatory body has passed details on to you when you have no relationship with said body or reason to have said details?
If so, report the caller to the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA): they took over some financial service regulation from the FSA.0
