"Call starts with "Hi my name is Jo", then goes on to talk about loft insulation and asks if you're the homeowner, etc. Needs a response so the script can carry on. If you ask a question it cant answer, it pauses, goes back a step, then carries on and repeats. Can't respond to anything when you challenge where they got your information from in the 'database'. They can't answer and ask for your entry to be removed from the database but are stuck. Definitely Artificial Intelligence and a very bad one! SCAM call like others said, might use your voice to make a voice pattern of you! DANGEROUS"
