    I had the first, of these calls, for ages on Tuesday but didn't have the time to play, this time. (I answered a 'number withheld' as I was expecting a call from a source that does withhold.)


    However, the caller rather spoiled his ploy, because when I answered he was busy chatting, in a foreign language,thus making a nonsense of his claim to be Andrew.

    He done that on purpose (probably with a spare computer) to see what the scammer was up to?

    I'm sure easily fixed by him
