    Got a call from 083-6579513

    No one there when I answered and then it sort of clicked in like the other end picked up after I had said "hello" a few times.

    Some guy claiming to be from UFX wanted to talk to me about a trading account. He referred to me as "Mr Barry" - my surname.

    I quickly tried to get rid of him even though he tried to keep me on longer to talk about a trading account. I googled UFX and seems to be some sort of trading website.

    Haven't had a cold call like that in a long time. Where would some random guy have for my number and surname combo from? Seems very dodgy?

    Some company who has your details is either selling information or has been breached.
