“I have no idea who the person is or why they have chosen to call me.

“I am very vulnerable as I live on my own and they have made me very upset.

“I do not like getting these calls and something must be done to stop this guy.

“I really don’t know who he is or how he got my number. It is all a mystery and came very suddenly over the weekend.

“He doesn’t sound like a local person but he keeps calling my home.”
