put the phone down and walk away for half an hour - they're paying for the call whoever they are!!!

Thanks Rose, I will do that in the morning.
My son said that too, but I felt a bit daft complaining.
BUT.... He knew my name!!
Frightening isn't it?

Very good advice Deanna....

No bank or similar will ever conduct business this way... alert your bank if that's who they claim to be, alert your phone line provider and the police :)

I have had 2 phone calls today, one was so difficult to hear, although I did know that it was a foreign man, I hung.
a few hours later I had another call the same, but a little clearer, he knew my name!
He said is that Mrs.....?
I said... yes.
He then said....
I am phoning about your debts, You have a lot of Debts you have not paid....

I said " indeed I have not!"
AND..... He said, yes you have!
I hung up on him.
The reason I am telling you is that I think you should be aware, and watch out.
The line seemed so very bad, as if it had been joined by a 'piece if wool!!
Just be careful every one.
Good night all. X
