Phone call re emissions compensation

Options
Just had a phone call saying I had filed a claim regarding emissions compensation on my car.
I have not filed any such claim.
The worrying thing about the call is that they know my name, address and vehicle registration number, along with my mobile phone number. 
The caller was very insistent that I had made a claim but eventually stated he would "close the file" before hanging up.
Incidentally my car is petrol so wouldn't have thought any compensation was due anyway.

    I have just had an email from Duolingo to say there has been a data breach.  I am sick to death of this now occurring on a regular basis.  It seems that many organisations have very weak security.  No doubt the data is sold on to scammers.
