Plenty of good advice you've given there, Fifi. I do believe this guy was phishing for my personal details, there was just something about the way he was speaking to me that didn't ring true.

Sounds to me like somebody calling to obtain your details. I've had a few like this, and they always get short sharp shrift from me. They call with very few details, like a randomly generated phone number and maybe a name from the phone book (why then he has your first name but not surname is queer though) and try to sell you something so you'll feel confident in giving them all your personal

Lizzie. Lol. Twice in one week. How unfair ;-)

Wombat. I really don't think he was a legit salesman even - there was something about the way he was speaking to me. Too many pauses. And why call once first then leave the line open for a while before cutting off? And he didn't just use my first name, he called me Mrs Sharon. Nobody does that.

Sharon,
if you have a mailbox at the front of your house/home put a lock on it please.
There are people paid (certainly here in Australia anyway)that pull mail back out of the slot to collect such details as your name. They are todays equivilent to door to door salesmen. they walk around scoping houses to sell thier wares , in your case insulation, get your name from the mailbox your
