I read about it in our local paper and I worked in National Insurance for 20 years so realised it wasn't genuine straightaway. It's like thieves inviting themselves into your house to rob you isn't it! Whatever next will they try.

Yes it is a scam, they were talking about it on the Morning Live show. They were doing an item about identity theft and one of them said they had a call in the early hours. So many scams about now.

The clue was the very American male voice obviously a recording. I just let it go to answer phone.

Yes Ann, I had it a couple of days ago. I am certain it’s a scam. I just put the phone down and blocked the number.

Anyone had this 'scam' (I am pretty sure'? From the national crime office, suspicious National Insurance number.
